Greetings!

Several divers spotted this unusual rockfish near Santa Rosa in the California Channel Islands, on the Aug 2008 REEF fish-counting trip. The fish was at Groovy Wall (a.k.a. East End Pinnacles), just southeast of the island. We spotted it around 9 am on the morning of 10 Aug.

This is the third time I am trying to post these three photos.  I have resized them twice.  Are there guidelines for properly resizing photos for this discussion forum?

Are each of these fish a creole wrasse?

Thank You,
