\nComment 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<\/a>”<\/p>\n

\nComment made on post: “Uncertain whether Houndfish or Flat Needlefish (Ablennes hians<\/em>). Commonly observed when waves are breaking on the Reef Crest, just seaward of the reef crest.”<\/p>\n

\nComments 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<\/a><\/span>”<\/p>\n

sue1001 suggested an ID*: “Shorter, thicker beak. No red\/yellow fins. Nice find!”
\nThen I (david p, JacPine22 on iNaturalist) agreed but now (Oct 4, 2025), not so sure. View
