Feeding the Coral Fishes

Description

Now, I've always been afraid of deep water (I don't like the shadows) but I'm always up for trying anything new, even if it does involve swimming in relatively deep water.

I got the chance to go snorkelling after camping on one of the islands just off Kota Kinabalu in Sabah on our holiday after our research trip, so I decided to give it a go. I'm so glad I did!

I took a few slices of bread with me (one in my hand the other in my swim-shorts!) and tore off pieces to feed all the pretty little fishes swimming around the shallow reefs.

This parrot-fish (I think) had a very horny beak and actually nipped my fingers when I tried to feed him a piece of bread that was too small! So I tore off a bigger bit to keep him happy while I took a photo of him (and his little cleaner wrasse friend!)
