Nice or Nuisance

I remember when I started to dive, how fascinating the Eastern Blue Groupers (Achoerodus viridis) were. For those of you who don't know them, these fish exist all around the coast of NSW, they are big, blue and extremely friendly.



Nowadays I am not sure. Since I started to take photos underwater I have realised that they more common than not just swim between you and the photo object, wrecking that one in a lifetime photo opportunity of the extra rare species. Are they a nice friendly part of our oceans or the hobby photographers worst enemy I wonder?
