Scolopsis affinis, commonly known as Peters' monocle bream, is a fish native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans.[1]
Fish performs behaviour of mobbing the Bobbit worm. The fish swims to the entrance of the worm's burrow, positions itself nearly vertically face-down above it, and blows sharp jets of water in the Bobbit's direction.[2]
