Between traveling to see family, catching up with things at
home, and coping with the 90+ degree temperatures, I’m thinking this parrot
fish has the right idea…Find a cool, quiet spot for a nap…zzzzz!

Photo Fun Facts:
- Michael took this photo during a night dive.
- The picture of this parrot fish, snuggled in for the night, was taken just before he secreted a special mucous that covered his body. This mucous covering serves as a transparent cocoon, believed to mask its scent while it sleeps.
- The parrot fish changes its color pattern several times over its life span. Michael thinks this particular fish looks like a Dr. Seuss character with its vibrant color pattern and animated face!
- This parrot fish was about 2 feet long.
- Michael took this picture at a depth of about 65 feet.
