Trunkfish - Grand Cayman, B.W.I.

One of the more unusually shaped fish in the ocean is the Trunkfish. Their bodies average six or
seven inches in length and are very box-like. Their unusual shape prevents them from swimming quickly,
however, they are quite agile and can play a good game of hide and seek among coral heads and underwater
vegetation. The fish above looks like it's ready to plant a big kiss on the lens of my camera.
