Hello All,
I'm going through some old images to hone up my ID skills for the upcoming trip to Bonaire. I could certainly use some help with the following image. It was taken while snorkeling in shallow waters near a shore reef. It initially looked like a mojarra to me but I don't know any with a yellow tail and the other colorations don't make much sense to me either. Using the Reefnet CD fish ID help I now think it is an unusually colored (young?) horse-eye jack. However, all images I have of those have silvery flanks, not the greyish colour with vertical light bands. Can anyone confirm if it is a horse-eye jack or, if not, give me an idea of what it is.
While I'm at it I may as well get confirmation on the following one.
The one on the right is a smallmouth grunt. The beheaded one on the left bottom is a bluestriped grunt but the three in the middle I believe to be Caesar grunt but their lines are much bolder than what is depicted in Humann & Deloach and the Reefnet CDrom images.
Thanks!
Bart
