This fish is mainly found in northern Australia.
Less shy than its red and blue version, it is easier to see. For this you will have to go to very specific places, about 5am or 5pm. Do not hesitate to ask to the local people ;).
He is very awesome but suffers from being fashionable for aquariums fans.
Parrotfish create a protective envelope around them when they are sleeping.
So, don't put the light on them during night dive to don't to wake them up and break this envelope.
Turtles are in economy mode when they are sleeping. If they are woken during night, they may not have enough air to return to surface.
So, please be careful during night dives!
The tiger shark has slender marks similars to the lines of tigers, hence its name.
When it is juvenile, these marks are round and not vertical. They change when it grows.
