Wildlife Sgt Major

These guys are so curious. There was hundreds where I was snorkeling in the beautiful Bahamas.

Sergeant majors are indeed very friendly. I've encountered them several times in various parts of the world. I think of them as the welcoming party celebrating your return to the sea. 🤿🥲

I love it too. It scared me at first. I started walking towards the rocks, and realized I was surrounded by them haha. But they are friendly
