Say hello to the friendliest fish of the sea - the Eastern Blue Groper.
I regularly encounter the Blue Groper on my scuba dives in Sydney and was inspired to draw three.
Find out a little bit more about these incredibly inquisitive and friendly fish.
The friendliest fish of the sea - is endangered and PROTECTED. Spear fishermen be warned. Killing these gentle animals will result in a $22,000 fine and 6 month jail sentence.
