Tang at Two Step, Big Island, Hawaii

It is always exciting looking for the rare or large fish.  The thrill of crossing paths with a shark, swimming in tandem with a dolphin, or a close up of a hungry eel.  During these searches we pass over schools of yellow tangs, black triggers, raccoon butterflies and more, occasionally stopping to admire their beauty.

These schools are just as exciting and if there were fewer occurrences, they would be bigger headlines.  But the schools are common.  Just venture out a little and you will see them.  Sometimes they are feeding on the corals and algae below or just drifting out in the open, watching us watching them.

Thanks to Jeffrey Glenn Tveraas for the use of his music off the Lake Effect disc.  Perhaps you can catch him playing in and around Austin or visit The Austin Connection where he hosts pod casts from Cheshire Moon Studios in Austin, Texas.
