Big
Eye. Priacanthus hamrur:
Solitary, rather timid fish
that grows to about 40cms. Unlike most Red Sea life,
definately not a sun worshipper as always found
in the gloom under rock/coral overhangs.

Highly
poisonous fish is also the master of camoflauge.
Rarely seen by most divers, get yourself to Fanadir
