Good luck on this one

 

[ryan115]

My first inclination was a Paraclinus, but with the double ocellus I'm going with Malacoctenus gilli

 

[IanMNY]

Have you ever heard the statement you should go with your first instinct? That statement applies here...

Bodianus diana

 

[SDguy]

Ian already got it correct, coralite.

 

[ryan115]

ocellation doesnt match but I'll go with odds and say Paraclinus marmoratus

 

[IanMNY]

Sorry its not marmoratus but I can see how you would confuse them, with the triple ocellus. I'll give you the full pic because I personally think this one is hard

 

[AuroraDrvr]

Paraclinus sini

 

[IanMNY]

 

[IanMNY]

not sini

 

[ryan115]

Paraclinus integripinnis

 

[tcmfish]

Paraclinus barbatus, if correct ryan115 your turn to post a pic.

 

[IanMNY]

sorry had a bad night... Barbatus is correct, and I agree with Tim, Ryan you are up

 

[ryan115]

So this is going to be a little unorthodox, but I think it is interesting anyway.

and the sort of a final exam

I'll guess yellowmouth grouper, Mycteroperca interstitialis ... based on the yellow coloration on their maxillaries (grin)

I guess I should have explained this one more. The two pictures are of two different species. I would like you to tell me the name for each one respectively and then for the linked picture. Like I said, a little unorthodox.

 

[JHemdal]

Why you old scamp!....

Picture: Mycteroperca phenax and Mycteroperca interstitialis

Link : Mycteroperca olfax ?

 

[ryan115]

[sohalfr]
