Underwater Wednesday: Grunts

With so much "back-to-school" buzz going on, I thought it would be fitting to showcase a "school" of fish for today's Underwater Wednesday!

School of grunts photographed in Cozumel.

Photo Fun Facts:

• You read the title correctly...these fish really are named "grunts!" (But, with their bright, cheery yellow stripes and fins, the name "grunt" just doesn't seem right!)

• Schools of grunt are often found swimming near coral reefs (a good food source...of course!)

• You can swim into a school of grunts and they will part around you...kinda freaky, but super cool!

• Michael took this photo at a depth of about 60 feet.
