Snapper - Pagrus auratus (Forster, 1801) [more of this species]
Very similar to the Red Seabream (P. major) of the northern pacific. This species occurs south of the tropics. The are slight differences in the bump of the head, otherwise almost identical.
They can be identified by pinkish body with blue spots on the upper part of the body. The bottom most parts of the caudal, anal and ventral fins are white, the rest of those fins are transparent.

This lady really wanted to be on the other side of the street. But she was at a blind corner with a bridge in the middle and a rise in both directions. So I just had to flip her into the brush and hope for the best. She was not happy.
Iâd often seen snapper before on the wreck of the ex-HMAS Hobart but usually small ruggers and often large schools of them.
The occasional large snapper would cruise past from time to time but never really big and always very flighty. On this dive however we discovered several large, metre plus, fish sheltering inside the wreck down around 20m below the surface.
Attempts to approach and photograph from the outside proved frustrating as the snapper would simply move deeper into the wreck. In the end I approached them from inside the wreck coming as close as I dared not to spook them.
There was no sense of colour or detail from in here but watching their beautiful silhouettes against the backdrop of open water behind was magical enough.
I simply wished I could have lingered here longer.

At Salt Pier, the large schools of fish usually hang out near the pillars. Mahogany snappers were one of them.

Taken in Carnaby Street, London, this gentleman was out doing the same as us - a bit of candid street photography - he has one of me somewhere :)

Sub-species: Lutjanus campechanus (red snapper)
A fine example of the newly discovered species of photographer now roaming our shores in ever increasing numbers. This one is particularly noteworthy on account of her striking plumage exhibiting skulls, chains and tassles.
I have created a new set (Shot the photographer!) in which I intend to document the bizarre behaviour patterns of these strange but numerous creatures. (Also because I just caved and bought myself a pro account).
Just south of Brisbane. By request of @doingitwrong. Landsat 8 scene LC80890792013117LGN01, 15 m/px at full size.
Sea Foam
This is a natural process occurring in especially big seas, where plankton and other small sea organisms are literally pulverised against the rocks of the shoreline, resulting in a very fine protein suspension in the sea which coats the air-bubbles created by the waves to create a stiff froth, just the same way as egg protein coats air bubbles to make meringue, and beer protein coats air bubbles to produce a head of foam in a beer glass. from viv.id.au/blog/20070827.871/sea-foam/
Well Deserved Snapper after deciding it wanted to dig into the kelp and not come out. Big Ups to Gordy for persisting and getting it out eventually!
