Description

Snorkeling at Governor's Reef (max depth less than 20ft/6m).

K. sectatrix or K. incisor. Lots of them, following snorkelers around. Humann & Deloach's book has the note "reliably distinguishing between these two species while underwater is considered impossible-- fin ray and gill raker counts are required for confirmed identification."
