Back to the Blue Corner
Humanis Palauanis "Ken" with a Sweet Lips "Angelina Jolee" on the edge of the wall
Unicornfish, one of the ugliest damn fishes in the entire ocean (it is delicate and tasty, however)
After reaching the hooking location at the wall, here comes Mr. Naploeon Wrass. He can recognize familiar faces from a great distance and is always hungry for hot dogs. No wonder he's so friendly. Several years ago, another much larger wrasse was resident here. However, he disappeared mysteriously. I have a sneaking suspicion he ended up on a dinner plate, as the Palauans claim that these fish the THE BEST to eat, especially their tender lips made into soup. Now, they are a protected species, but I sure didn't see too many of them, and especially of this size (this guy is only about 4-5 years old). These guys used to be fed eggs, but after a few panicked divers had their white regulators sucked out of their mouths, people refrain from feeding him any white foods. Even a Santa hat was mistaken as an egg, tragically ruining the Christmas spirit during an underwater dive. Shame.
