These pictures arent that great but i am not sure what this fish is, I know its not anything strange and i havent rediscovered a lost species, its just the only fish i have not been able to identify yet.
It was taken in Okinawa Japan just south of Onna Point- Any ideas?

I think it's a cornetfish. Similar to a trumpetfish, but the tail is slightly different. http://chemistry.csudh.edu/faculty/j...mar/cornet.jpg Cornetfish are found in the Pacific, Trumpetfish are found in both Atlantic and Pacific oceans, as well as others.

Trumpet fish and needle fish both have a more paddlelike tail as compared to the whip like tail of the cornetfish. The mouth is also not as wide as a trumpet fish and not as pointy as a needlefish. These fish are very common around Okinawa and are seen at many of the different sites.

Good call. I was just going to confirm I could ID it as a true fish.
BTW, you can turn the date stamp off and read dates that pics were shot on your computer. It's in the Exif info.
Cornetfish!!!
Thank you all! and the Date/time stamp would only bother me if i used the camera more than 2 times a year, its wrong anyway so i am not to worried about it.
