When marine biologist Scott Gardner was swimming back to his boat after a dive on the Great Barrier Reef, he heard a strange cracking sound and grabbed his camera — just in time to snap some photos of a green wrasse (also known as a tuskfish) smacking a small cockle against a rock to get at the meat inside.
While scientists have known for about 50 years that a few dozen species of fish use rocks as tool-like implements, this was the first time it had been witnessed up close and recorded with a camera.
