Fig. 1. Lactophrys triqueter, trunkfish, engaged in directing currents of water from its 

 mouth against the bottom to uncover food. Light spots less distinct and dark circles more 

 distinct than in figure 2. Halichoeres bivittatus, slippery dicks, in background. 



Fig. 2. Lactophrys triqueter, trunkfish, in a very distinctly spotted phase, engaged as in 

 figure 1. Ocyurus chrysurus, yellowtail, to right, swimming away. Halichoeres bivittatus, 

 slippery dicks, in foreground, always at hand to help eat the food uncovered by the trunkfish.
