Hmmm... check out these interesting fish

[NeveSSL]

Check out what I found on eBay (the website, not the store ):

I thought these were some interesting fish, especially the orange trigger!

I'd probably get one of those tangs if I had a large enough tank.

Nice, huh!?

They're calling them "Yellowtail Anthias".

They also have yellow coris wrasses for $13. I'm thinking about getting some for flatworms.

That orange one is actually a filefish.

One is a trigger fish one is a file fish. 2 different species and types of fish actually

 

[NeveSSL]

lol... thanks... that helps a lot.

So they just have similar shapes then?

Triggerfish have two dorsal spines and filefish have one. Triggerfish can lock their dorsal spines erect and you can't pull down the first one by itself. If you pull down the second one the first one will come down with it. That is why they are called triggerfish.

Similar in a 2d picture, but when you see then inperson you can tell there not from the same family. Hope that helps. File fish usually eat coral polyps too
