See image or link and click on "it" (photo) to enlarge.

I just took a peek at what's going on under the sea in Bonaire and happened to see this marvelous creature. I guess you have to be at the right place at the right time...

Does anyone have any idea of what I caught?

Here's the link to the webcam. You have to refresh the image periodically.

Yes, it looks like a needle-nosed trumpet fish.

Wow! You know your sea creatures very well. Thanks!

or maybe it's a tuba-nosed thread fish.

Where's the spit-valve? I can't see it from that angle.

"Needle-fish" "Trumpet-fish" Never known any-one cook it. They are amazing to watch when swimming.

Yes, we have them here too- beautiful to watch while snorkeling.

Oh the water is so so clear, that I could see blue trumpet fish from my bedroom window.
