Everyone knows of my love for these beautiful fish. Not because they're good for our environment but because they are so pretty. The stripes on them seem to be various patterns, at least they are under my brush!
However they are an invader to our beautiful Gulf now. It has taken them about 20 years, but they went around the tip of Florida. They are also headed north, up the Eastern seaboard as well. Divers are having a field day catching them, but it is a never ending game of cat and mouse. These fish can go deeper than any diver ever could. I believe some of them have been found at depths of 1000 feet! Eradicate them one day, back the next!
We can fight back though, by eating them!
