Skinny fish about six inches long, they look like a school of knives as they school and have been nicknamed razorfish or shrimpfish. They can hide amongst coral or seagrass. They are in the pipefish family and have bony plates. At night the color of their skin reflects light and they shine like metal. On the following page you can see a school of these fish hiding in blades of turtle grass. Watch the Video! |

My internship has drawn to a close, and I am very thankful for all of the experiences I have had working at Mote Marine Lab's Dolphin and Whale Hospital. For the past several months, I have risen at the crack of dawn to dedicate 40+ hours a week for a non-paid position - but all the chemical splatters, ripped jeans, and damp wetsuits have all been worth it! I met many new characters in Florida - human and sea creatures, alike. And I can say with great pride that I will remember these coworkers, friends, and animals, throughout my career.Come See.
