In 1997, REEF surveyors discovered a colony of garden eels during survey dives in the Gulf of Mexico that didn't' look quite right to be the usual brown garden eel. After sending images and ultimately a specimen to Dr. John Randall, the mystery species was identified as a new species of conger eel, the yellow garden eel (Heteroconger luteolus). The description of the new species was published in 1999.

This publication describes a new (to science) species of coral reef wrasse found by REEF surveyors at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS). This species was nicknamed the "Mardi Gras wrasse" by sanctuary staff due to the bright purple, yellow and green coloration of the terminal male phase. The fish was originally discovered at the East Flower Garden Bank by members of a REEF survey team in 1997, and has been periodically observed (primarily at Stetson Bank) since that time.

The Jacksonville Reef Research Team is hosting the GAFC in Northeast Florida. Instructors from the JRRT and REEF will be teaching free fish identification classes all month at participating dive retailers. July 18th, the team will conduct a survey Offshore Jacksonville. Sign up early - Boat spaces are limited. GAFC Round-up BBQ will be held August 1. Prizes will be awarded for contests and raffles held throughout the month.
