Spot the reef's sharpest locals! Doctorfish and Ocean Surgeonfish are cruising the shallow, vibrant reefs right here in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Famous for their "scalpel-sharp" tail spines, these nature-made surgeons are a must-see.
- Hidden Blade: They get their name from a razor-sharp, retractable spine at the base of their tail used for defense.
- Reef Gardeners: They are the "doctors" of the ocean, tirelessly grazing on algae to keep our local corals clean and healthy!
- Shape Shifters: Doctorfish are known for their cool vertical body stripes and ability to rapidly change color from dark to pale.
