Hunting Quartet – Bar Jack, Trumpetfish, & Spanish Hogfish
Bonaire (Something Special) – 5/15/2013
This unlikely quartet including two Bar Jacks, a Trumpetfish, and a Spanish Hogfish teamed up to hunt! This alliance was formed as a nuclear hunting group that work together to fish or a couple will do the hunting while the others may just collect the scraps. The Trumpetfish has camouflaged itself to appear more like the Bar Jacks – he may be just along for the ride, known as transport camouflaging.
