[seafansar]

nope, but kinda close

 

[yukonblizzard]

Apogon limenus, or Apogon doederleini?

 

[seafansar]

Think more colorful. Similar fish, but wrong genus.

 

[seafansar]

Here's a little more.

 

[yukonblizzard]

Rose Atoll Cardinalfish?

 

[seafansar]

Nope, you were closer with the cardinalfishes.

 

[yukonblizzard]

Rose Atoll Cardinalfish, Ostorhinchus sp? I edited my last post the same time you posted.

 

[seafansar]

Yep. The scientific name is Ostorhinchus leslie.

 

[yukonblizzard]

Ok, this might be a little tougher than my last one.

The cirri / spinelets on the dorsal spines screams hawkfish to me, but I can't tell which one - also some blennies and scorpionfish have these as well (but don't have those large cycloid scales).

So - to take a wild guess, I'll say: Cirritichthys aprinus

[yukonblizzard]

You are very close

 

[SDguy]

oxycephalus?

 

[yukonblizzard]

You got it Peter.

 

[SDguy]

 

[seafansar]

Serranus tigrinus?

 

[SDguy]

nope, but that would have been my guess too

 

[coralite]

Aspidontus taeniatus.

 

[SDguy]

:thumbsup:

 

[coralite]

 

[JHemdal]

If it wasn't so colorful, I'd say one of the Sargocentron - but then coming from coralite, it prolly wouldn't be that mundane....
