Bluestripe snapper

Lutjanus kasmira

Sighting evidence at Malindi Reef Fish School

Resident aggregations of bluestripe snapper at this site number in the thousands, forming dense rotating schools above the reef crest that divers can swim directly through. The high density is a direct product of the no-take protection — these fish are completely unafraid of divers.
