Description
Zeus faber would have to rate as one of the coolest scientific names in da fish 'hood! This is a deep offshore fish that is occasionally found in shallow coastal waters, like this one photographed at Clifton Gardens. The false eye spot on the side of the body confuses potential predators "which way will it run?". John Dorys are efficient predators themselves; they shoot out a tube from their mouths to catch their prey.
