    If anyone has any idea what kind of fish this might have been (or why it was stalking me) that'd be super helpful.
    Hi ScheherazOdd, it seems to me that you almost always see French Grunts in schools, sometimes large ones. Maybe it's a very social fish and since it was isolated from any companions, it took up with you, hoping to school? I've seen videos where researchers have gotten schooling species of fish to even follow an artificial fish in the water. Did you have any yellow on, or black stripes?
