My Favorite Fish


A Bold Yellowhead Jawfish Looks Right Back at Me

I saw two of these little 3-4" fish about a foot apart peering at me over a branch of coral. I couldn't believe my eyes so I slowly moved closer watching them the whole time. As I moved closer they would descend into a little hole. When I moved back they came back out to look at me. I surmise this one gathered I wasn't going to eat him as he stayed up while the other one descended into the sand and could not be seen.

To me, they were so beautiful and surreal they look like something out of a Star Wars movie.
