One of my favorite fish to take pictures of are Damsel fish, but I have a heck of a time getting the correct ID...
This guy... should be a Beaugregory or a Cocoa.. but in the Panhandle of Florida, we don't seem to have any ones that look like the adults of those fish..
This one of the most common damsels there, but as adults, we have tons of these:
Also, this last weekend, I got a picture of this guy:
Looks to me like one picture of a yellowtailed reeffish, but other pictures are not even close....as in question #3.versus Fish ID Quiz 12http://fishbase.mnhn.fr/Summary/SpeciesSummary.php?id=3643
But we have no adult fish that look like the pictures of the adult.
Lastly, we have a lot of these now (new fish over the last few years):
and while I don't have a good picture, there are now lots of little, bright blue fish that look to be their young...
Any ideas?
Note: the young are, unlike the other damsel fish, school fish, and tend to move away from divers.. so I have long distance shots of them, but nothing close up.
