Minnows, the common name for a variety of very small silvery fish, can often be seen schooling around the reef. These fish school to confuse their predators. In large masses it is very hard to identify one fish to attack, therefore the entire group evades being eaten as the predators go in search of easier prey. (photo: Paige Gill - Florida Keys NMS)
