Hi:
On a cruise in February we got to do a 2 tank dive in Grand Cayman; saw a number of interesting things, & am trying to nail down I.D.s on these 3 guys. I saw a Nassau Grouper & these aren't. The other groupers mentioned on my Franko Maps Cayman Islands Reef Card don't quite look like these, although that last, smallest fish does remind me of a Tiger Grouper, assuming its red color (per the card) would look dark at depth due to light filtering effects of water.
Anybody know what these guys are?
Maybe another of the same species, maybe not?
Tiger Grouper? Graysby? (I saw Graysbys in Bonaire, but they're not on this Grand Cayman card, so I don't know if they occur locally).
Thanks!
Richard.
