Cave on Three Mile Reef

This shot was take at Three Mile Reef just off the coast at Hillarys Marina in Perth. The reef is limestone and there are lots of caves to explore - some quite small and a bit of a squeeze and others like this one are quite large. The fish in the middle with the black bar through its eye is a juvenile West Australian Jewfish. The black bar disappears as the fish matures. The Jewfish or Dhufish is a prized table fish in WA but numbers have declined over years of over fishing.
