Beaked Salmon
(Gonorynchus greyi)
The beaked salmon (also beaked sandfish) are a type of long thin gonorynchiform ray-finned fish that live on sandy bottoms near shorelines. The approximately five known species are all in the single genus Gonorynchus of the family Gonorynchidae. All have a distinctive angular snout (hence the name) that the fish use to dig themselves into the sand...(Wikipedia)
These pathetic little stills taken from a piece of video from the RWT.
So annoyed that my strobe during this period had died on me. So I did my best to get something off the video, and this was it... oh well maybe next time.... even though in 4 years of diving I had never seen a Beaked Salmon before.

What a diference a day makes......... 24 little hours......
and a close dive buddy who has a strobe.
Now how wonderful are these, a big thank you to my good buddy Alex Farny for donating these after weeks of being pestered by me.
Simply beautiful.... Colours are stunning....
