Cozumel Dive 4

Welcome to my edited Diving video of San Clemente reef in Cozumel. In this video, I will show you some of the fish and other creatures that I encountered during my dive at one of the most beautiful sites in Cozumel. Some of the fish and other creatures that I saw include:

Banded Butterflyfish: These small fish have yellow and black stripes and a black spot on their rear dorsal fin.
Bi-Color Damselfish: These blue and yellow fish that live in shallow reefs and feed on algae.
Blue Chromis: These bright blue fish swim schools above the coral.
Blue Tang: These oval-shaped fish have blue bodies and yellow tails. They are also known as surgeonfish, because they have sharp spines on their sides.
Bluehead Wrasse - Initial Phase: These are fish that change color and shape as they grow. The initial phase is when they are young and have a blue head and a yellow body when older.
Caribbean Sharpnose Puffer: These small pufferfish have pointed noses and brown spots. They can inflate their bodies when threatened.
Feather Duster Worm: These tube-dwelling worms have a crown of feathery tentacles that they use to filter food from the water.
Foureye Butteryfly Fish: These white fish have black stripes and a black spot on their tail that looks like an eye to help them confuse predators.
French Angelfish: These large fish with black bodies and yellow edges. They are often seen in pairs or small groups.
Giant Anemone: These large anemones that have tentacles with stinging cells that they use to catch prey. They have a symbiotic relationship with some fish, such as clownfish, that live among their tentacles.
Gray Angelfish: These are similar to French Angelfish, but have a gray body and no yellow edges. They also have a black spot on their forehead.
Grooved Brain Coral: These hard corals have a brain-like appearance due to the grooves on their surface. They provide shelter and food for many reef animals.
Harlequin Bass: These colorful fish have a white body and black spots. They also have red, yellow, and blue markings on their fins and tail.
Honeycomb Cowfish: These box-shaped fish have hexagonal scales that form a honeycomb pattern. They also have horns above their eyes and can secrete a toxin when stressed.
Red Lionfish: These invasive fish have red, white, and black stripes and venomous spines. They have no natural predators in the Atlantic and can harm the native reef ecosystem.
Pipehorse: These relatives of seahorses have long, thin bodies and tube-like snouts. They camouflage themselves among the seagrass and coral.
Queen Parrotfish: These large parrotfish have blue-green bodies and pink lips. They use their beak-like teeth to scrape algae from the coral and produce sand as a byproduct.
Queen Triggerfish: These oval-shaped fish with blue, yellow, and purple markings. They have a spine on their back that they can lock in place to wedge themselves in crevices or deter predators.
Rock Beauty - Juvenile: Young Rock Beauty fish have a yellow body and a black spot on their tail. As they mature, they develop a black head and body with a yellow tail.
Sand Tilefish: These slender fish with blue-green bodies and yellow tails. They live in burrows under the sand and dart out to catch prey or flee from danger.
Scrawled Filefish: These flat fish have a brown body and blue lines. They have a retractable spine on their head and can change color to blend in with their surroundings.
Spotfin Butterflyfish: These white fish with black stripes and a black spot on their dorsal fin. They feed on coral polyps and other invertebrates.
Spotted Moray Eel: These are eels that have a brown body with white spots. They hide in holes and crevices and use their sharp teeth to catch fish and crustaceans.
Stoplight Parrotfish: These parrotfish that change color and sex during their life cycle. The initial phase is when they are female and have a red, brown, or green body. The terminal phase is when they are male and have a green body with a yellow spot on their head.
Yellow Jack: These are fast-swimming fish with a yellow body and a black stripe. They form large schools and hunt smaller fish.
White Speckled Hermit Crab: These are hermit crabs that have a white body with black spots. They live in empty shells that they carry around and swap when they grow.
Yellowline Arrow Crab: These crabs have a triangular body and long legs. They have yellow lines on their body and claws. They feed on small animals and debris.
Spotted Trunkfish: These box-shaped fish with black spots on a yellow background. They have a mouth at the end of a tube-like snout and can release a toxin from their skin when threatened.
