I know it's not the best picture, but can anyone tell me what type of fish is in the attached picture? It sort of looks like a parrotfish, but I'm looking for some help.. Thanks!

[Dave Zimmerly]

Looks like Blue Chromis. How big were they?

thanks guys... i was leaning towards the creole wrasse myself

They weren't blue chomis, we saw several of them and these were different. Thanks again!

 

[H2Andy]

Looks like Blue Chromis.

hmmm.... i'd say not

Blue chromis are shorter and fatter

 

[Cudabait]

Andy's right.

And they are Initial Phase...
not the more colorful Terminal Phase...

Yup, I think H2Andy got 'em pegged.
The caudal fin looks exceptionally "V" shaped, but I do believe they're Creole Wrasses.

I would say they are Blue Chromis (chromis cyaneus) adult is about 5 inches long. Where did you take the photo?
