Ace of Spades

I'm still away from home (currently back in my old home town of swinging London (baby!)) hence the paucity of posts and slow responses to comments for which I apologise. As it's going to be a couple of weeks before I get in the water again I thought I'd post a photo from last year that slipped the net so to speak.

This is an Atlantic spadefish which is the caribbean equivalent of pacific batfish: big, beautiful and friendly (and probably a little bit dumb).

We usually see them in small groups (although sadly we don't see them often) but this little chap was wandering around all alone.
