 Red Hind Cleaning Station Good evening, it’s me again! Here’s a fun shot I got today on my afternoon dive and thought it would be perfect for tonight’s email. Yesterday I sent you a photo of the two Sharknose Gobies so here’s the same type of goby doing what they do best, cleaning bigger fish. The fish being cleaned is a Red Hind and is a major fish eating predator on the reef. These little gobies provide such a valuable service to the fish and creature community keeping them safe from infections by eating any and all little bacteria on their skin and in return are left alone from predators. I have seen these little fish dash in and out of the mouths of big green moray eels and giant barracudas, they really are the bravest fish on the reef and without them we would have a lot of sick fish swimming around!
I can’t believe it’s December already and Christmas is just weeks away, where did the year go?? I’m shocked I never even left the island this year but for sure will be going to the States sometime next year. That’s about it, not much going on see you tomorrow, by now, Barry
