These are not the greatest photos, but the subject matter was interesting.

Diving at Chumphon Pinnacle, near Ko Tao, what I believe may be a Ctenophore pulsed by, but he was being circled agitatedly by a pair of spadefish or batfish. Closer scrutiny revealed that a third spadefish was swimming around inside the creature. The fish inside was still very much alive, alert and in motion, but I suspect not for much longer and his two buddies outside were not too happy about their third musketeer being eaten.

The fish were each 10-12cm 4-5 inches

I had not seen this before

It would have been interesting to see how the fish was lured in.

Thanks, Steve. I am not a facebook member, so I do not know if your suggestion will work for me.
