In the post’s caption, the site informed: “Going diving at the world famous dive site North Horn Dive, this cute little fish caught the eye of Catherine Master Reef Guides. After over 1100 dives, she has never seen a fish like this. Showcasing @master_reef_guide_michelle who sent her confidant to the professionals with her, she was able to capture this footage. Back on the boat, Catherine and Michelle went to the books, consulted other experts and discovered that this Leopard Toby might be the first recorded sighting in Koraljno sea. It usually lives in the waters of the Philippines, Indonesia, Guam and Micronesia, no one has ever seen it here before.” (Also read: Ultra-rare newborn silverback gibbon clings to mom in adorable pictures)

The ocean has the power to surprise us every day, it’s full of beautiful animals that we have yet to discover. It’s an environment where I’m happy to spend my time getting these little surprises”
