i chased after a juvenile black tip reef shark on one of my many snorkeling trips  :D

ALSO, witnessed a green turtle laying eggs! it was around 7am, so was able to take many photo and videos without usage of flash.

u ask the same question as my gf.. LOL

called goat fish, because there is actually 2 'sensor' tantacles below their chin, looks like goat mustache.. so called goat fish..

lion fish because got fins that look like male lion hair..

they name the fish with land animals so its easy to remember.. dont need to remember 2 sets of animals.. :)
