I took this photo a couple of weeks ago on the Neptune Memorial reef just off Miami. It is some kind of trigger fish or file fish. ID help needed.

Sea Bass, Basslet or Parrot fish??? ID help
Posted June 4th, 2008 by sdingeldein
I saw these two fish together in Little Cayman last week in about 10 feet of water near the iron shore. I have been unable to ID them, variously convincing myself they are bucktooth parrot fish, lantern bass, pygmy sea bass. Any ideas?

Mating sharpnose puffers?
Posted May 20th, 2008 by gehringer
Diving at Sand Bottom Cave, French Reef, upper Florida Keys, I saw 3 sharpnose puffers. The largest one was keeping the mid-size one away from the smallest one. The smallest one had "normal" coloration but the 2 bigger puffers were mottled. Were these males trying to spawn with the smallest one? The activity was always centered around the smallest puffer and followed it wherever "she" swam.
