The same species (we suspect) has been seen twice before; once at Pyramid, and then later at A-Frame (see the News 2005 section, 19 November and 18 June), and there have been reports of more seen by other dives. Thus, while we believe it is still a visitor, it is one which visits regularly. It is most likely to be Fistularia petimba.
