Well, it is time to leave Bonaire and sail to Curacao. We will spend a few days in Curacao and get the boat hauled out- yes it is time for a bottom job. We will fly back to the states to visit family and do errands.
These two fish are Smooth Trunkfish. The little guy in the upper left is a post larval juvenile and the one in the lower right is an adult. The juveniles are sometimes called "peas" because the are round with a tiny tail that is tucked along side the body. They hang out in little hidey holes and crevasses and just sort of hover around in circles. They are really cute with those little lips.
These are also called boxfish because of their boxy shape. The under side of the adult is a flat rusty brown surface. They eat algae.
