	Yellow Goatfish Dig for Food
		Goatfish get their name from their "beards." Goatfish have a pair of "whiskers" called barbels that hang down from their chins.
		Goatfish use their barbels to dig in the sand for food.
		I've seen Yellow Goatfish at a wide range of depths, from 20 feet deep near the top of a reef to 70 feet deep along the outer reef wall.

	Goatfish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Goatfish are tropical marine perciform fish of the family Mullidae.
		Perhaps the goatfish's unpopularity among fishkeepers can be attributed to its feeding habits: Goatfish are tireless benthic feeders, using a pair of long chemosensory barbels ("whiskers") protruding from their chins to rifle through the sediments in search of a meal.
		Goatfish are pelagic spawners; that is, they release many buoyant eggs into the water which become part of the plankton.

	Fish of the Month (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Goatfishes occur in all warm temperate and tropical seas, distributed in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans.
		The favored food of goatfish tends to be small fish and benthic invertebrates such as worms, shrimp, crabs, mollusks, and echinoderms.
		When they are not searching for food, goatfish often rest on the bottom and match their color to blend in with the background.

	Mexican Goatfish
		The Mexican Goatfish's barbels are usually folded along the jaw when swimming, but extend out at right angles when it is searching for food buried in the sand.
		The Mexican Goatfish reaches a length of 12 inches and is found over rocky-shore within the first 150 feet of the water column.
		The Mexican Goatfish is viewed by locals as marginal table fare and a component of soup.
