stingray and hogfish
A Caribbean stingray, Himantura schmardae, feeds by stirring stirring up sandy bottoms with its wings and working through the sand with its plate-like teeth. Here, a hogfish, Lachnolaimus maximus (the one with three long dorsal spines), hovers behind, looking for prey trying to escape from the stingray.
Blackbird Caye, Belize.
