Filefish (Leatherjacket): The Master of Disguise 🐟🟤 Meet the Filefish — the quirky marine oddball that blends into rockwork like a pro. Their camouflage and single “horn-spine” make them stand out in any saltwater tank. These guys are curious, interactive, and full of attitude. They glide rather than swim, picking at rocks and investigating everything with that tiny pointed mouth. Quick Facts 💧 Salinity: 1.020–1.025 🌡️ Temp: 24–26°C 🌿 Diet: Marine omnivore (algae small meaty foods) 🪸 Notes

I like filefish of any kind, but especially like finding a scrawled filefish, aka., broomtail filefish or scribbled leatherjacket. They usually swim alone and are quite shy, but on several occasions I found 2 of these beauties together. Do you have them where you dive?#scribbledfilefish #scrawledfilefish #fish #uwvideo #aqaba #aqabajordan #visitaqaba #deepbluedivecenter #scuba #scubadiving #gopro #gopro11 #underwaterbeauty #beautiful #underwater #underwaterphotography #buceo #plongée #immersion
