Bignose unicornfish has the ability to remove or appear the blue color of its body.
It is an independent fish, living alone, in pairs or by a few individuals.
It has often been seen eating the bubbles that are made by breathing underwater during dives. It is not uncommon to see 4 or 5 by looking up at the end of the dive :).
Mammals have a horizontal tail.
Fishes have a vertical fin.
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
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.
