Hi,
All of these fishes were spotted midday last week, diving in 6 -10 ft of water, in Sebastian Inlet (East Central Florida) along the rock jetty. Hoping to add a few of these to my fish count but at this point not 100% sure of ID.
a) Sanddiver or Inshore lizardfish? About 12 inches. Diamond markings fit the bill for inshore, but looks like there might be the spot near the gills indicative of sanddiver.
b) Jack sp. - some yellow on tail and body. About 12 - 18 inches. Guessing Crevalle Jack but as you can see not much of picture. Not the right shape for yellow jack. School of about 6 swimming by.
c) Molly Miller? - hiding in a spong. head protruding only about 1 inch in diameter. Cirri looks right but not sure if image is sufficient to tell for sure.
d) Yellowtail Parrotfish? About 3-4 inches, swimming near the rocks. Not sure what other parrotfish it could be, tail definitely yellowish, but body a lot more mottled than any pictures from my guide books.
e) Baitfish about an inch (snook = 2 ft; sheepshead = 1 ft). no idea
