Wikipedia Abstract

Scolopsis affinis, commonly known as Peters' monocle bream, is a fish native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans. 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.
