When Laine photographed a pair of batfish chasing each other, he was stunned by the camera footage. One with a black top, but a pink batfish appeared in front of him below.

"This fan batfish was very calm, it felt like it was smiling, we interacted together for about 20 minutes, it was amazing!" Christian said.
