Atlantic Spadefish (juvenile) Uncommon

Chaetodipterus faber

Being an uncommon occurrence here in the Caribbean, it was exciting to come across this juvnile spadefish. There was only one individual that I saw, even though they are said to hang around in small groups. This juvenile was bobbing in the sandy seafloor about 10 feet from shore.
