Hawkfish rest on top of the coral waiting to pounce upon any small fish that might float by. On the sea floor 20 meters or more down, garden eels that resemble long whips are catching plankton. When they see the divers move close, they pull back into the sands. The goatfish use two long whiskers under their cheeks to feel for food hiding in the sand.
在海深二十公尺以下的海床上，許多一根一根如長鞭狀的是底棲性花園糯鰻正在捕食浮游生物，看到潛水客一靠近就急速縮回泥沙地裡，秋姑魚（海鯡鯉）則在海床上用唇下的兩根長鬚探測沙地裡有沒有食物藏匿。
