Subject: Smooth Trunkfish
Where: Sandy Island, Carriacou
When: July 10 2025
Description: With brush shaped fins and a triangular body, it makes for a very interesting fish. There are two types of trunkfish: the spotted trunkfish, which is white with black spots, and the smooth trunkfish, which is black with white spots.
Interesting Fact: The lips of the fish are shaped in a way that is designed to blow water, which they use to uncover food. The wiki describes them as "protuberant"
Personal Note: Once we were swimming under the boat with a camera and one of them swam right up to it and almost touched the lens!
