Concerning message #20545:

I just found 2 of these swimming under the lights under my dock in Lighthouse Point Florida, a mile north or so of Pompano Beach, Florida where many sightings have occured in the past. I have lived near, fished and dove these waters since 1971, and this is the first time I've ever seen this magnificent creature!

Locality: Lighthouse Point, 5 ft, Florida, Atlantic ocean, inland canal, 19 February 2008, swimming under dock in relatively clear canal water. Length: 8 inches
