Juvenile Smooth Trunkfish (Lactophrys triqueter) posing in front of its beautifully decorated shelter – United Caribbean, Deerfield Beach, Fl
Near the bow of the ship are two large cutouts where mooring lines used to run during docking. Now, they are utilized as shelter for small fish and invertebrates. I came across this tiny Trunkfish, about the size of a golf ball, sitting proudly in front of his decorated hiding hole. Encrusting corals and sponges line the walls making it a beautiful and safe place for this Trunkfish to grow.
