Whitespotted Surgeonfish
School is in session for a group of whitespotted surgeonfish on a Kiribati, Micronesia, coral reef. The world’s 75-odd species of surgeonfish have scalpel-like, movable spines on each side of their tail bases, which can deliver a painful slash to another fish or a curious human hand. Despite this weapon, surgeonfish aren’t particularly violent. Most are grazers that feed on ocean algae.
