This beauty is the Red Emperor Lutjanus sebae He can grow till 1 meter. This fish is one of the reef species whose flesh may carry a dangerous toxin. This is accumulated from feeding on invertebrates that have eaten infected algae. This condition is called ciguatera and deepwater fishes are generally free of it. Usually bright coloured fishes or invertebrates are dangerous or poisenous. A general rule is: ïf it is very pretty, or very ugly, or if it dos not flee, don't touch it. It is always a good idea not to touch anything, as you may destroy creatures. Just enjoy it and only leave the bubbles!
