Sphyraena jello
Saw this school of Pickhandle Barracudas taking cover in the reef from the very strong current and also getting themselves cleaned by the Pyjama Wrasse. Usually, they swim in schools in the water column. Silvery with yellowish tail; long cylindrical body and large underselling jaw with pointed teeth; about 20 wavy bars primarily on upper half of the body.
Form schools. Coastal lagoons and outer reefs to about 60 meters. Generally prefers reefs with strong current.
