look at the difference in tails:

queen angel: http://animal-world.com/encyclo/marine/angels/QueenAngelfish.php

the blues have a little "splotch" of blue on their foreheads that sometimes can
be confused with a crown

Oh, hush....blue does have a faint blue patch above forehead. When I looked at the picture, I mistook it for the crown. Queen's crown is much more pronounced. The profile played a trick on my eyes.

Edit: Dang it, H2!!! You beat me to it again!!!

 

[wreckchick]

oh fine, be that way.

It is a blue though, I looked at the pic again and the splotch isn't a true crown.

Sorry Rachael...thought you were giving ME a hard time about the crown, since I mentioned it in my post and was clearly wrong in my ID. No harm, no foul, eh?

I'm surprised you let that first one go as just a squirrelfish. It's a longspine squirrelfish. There are several different common squirrels in the area, and they aren't that hard to tell apart.

Dang. I did note that it was a longspine, but didn't catch that it wasn't ID'ed as such. Nice catch.

R.E.E.F.'s got a link up showing exotics known from Florida. It's got pics of both the Arabian and yellowbar angels.

I would email R.E.E.F. with this sighting. Send them the picture and the specific area the photo was taken at, along with the date.

You can also simply complete this form.

Exotics suck.
