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.
Mammals have a horizontal tail.
Fishes have a vertical fin.
Some sharks can stay motionless on the sand (white tips reef sharks, nurse sharks, etc.).
These sharks don't have to swim to bring oxygen to their gills like other sharks (grey, hammerheads tc.)
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.
