Blue-Striped Lizardfish out of normal range

I was pretty sure this was a blue-striped so I sent a photo to the Reefnet folks. They agree it is a blue-striped and plan to update the range in the next revision of the DVD and/or book. I just got the DVD and you're right that the pose does look strikingly familiar to the photo on there..

Carol, this photo is almost a copy of the main picture in the H/D CD for Blue-Striped Lizardfish. The only one that gave me a bit of pause (because of the range thing you mentioned) and I had to study the pictures carefully was the Red Lizardfish. There is one photo in the guide where it is showing a brown/tan coloration that looks very similar to this, also of course the Sand diver (very common) but the body proportions don't look right unless this is a smaller young fish? and I don't see the black "ear" of the sand diver unless it is well hidden. But looking at all three, it definitely looks like a Blue-striped to me much more than the other two.
