Comment made on post: “In the background when I was photographing a school of jacks just seaward of the reef crest; I didn’t notice them at the time. Barracuda, bonefish and tarpon all come into this area to feed. Which one? Comments appreciated. Video at https://youtu.be/cmg2jilpFBg”

Comment made on post: “Uncertain whether Houndfish or Flat Needlefish (Ablennes hians). Commonly observed when waves are breaking on the Reef Crest, just seaward of the reef crest.”

Comments made on post: “Common and abundant on fringing reefs 33 and 34 in Barbados MPA, clearest pic I have got yet, they stay at edge of vision. Agree with the Houndfish ID. Good description here: https://sta.uwi.edu/fst/lifesciences/sites/default/files/lifesciences/documents/ogatt/Tylosurus_crocodilus%20-%20Stickfish%20or%20Houndfish.pdf”
sue1001 suggested an ID*: “Shorter, thicker beak. No red/yellow fins. Nice find!”
Then I (david p, JacPine22 on iNaturalist) agreed but now (Oct 4, 2025), not so sure. View
