| Remark: | Have had multiple dives where this fish seems to be fixated by the divers eyes and will spend up to 10 minutes hovering in front of the mask turning from side to side looking at the divers eyes. I do not think it is looking at its reflection as it displays the same behaviour as you move around where reflection in the mask changes. It does not display aggression but curiosity and will follow divers who have lost interest and repeat the behaviour when the divers look at it again. | ||||
