I placed a photo on the front page of the Hilo Divers Dive Group Yahoo group page.... wow that is wordy... anyway it is at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/hilodivers/
Time for our first contest. Can you name that fish? I took the photo on the Kona side of the island, it is not doctored in any way. I am still working on the Prize for whomever figures it out. I think we will do a fish bowl drawing at the next event.... first person with the right answer wins. So, if you have questions or comments, put them here... maybe I will answer and maybe I won't.
Bottom line: Name That Fish!!

You only beat me cause you typed fewer words, & I am from the manual type time.(i.e. SLOW). Still didn't remember how to spell the yellow thing, Antennarius commerson is the correct spelling....had to memorize this fishy last spring.....they say memory is the first thing....

Memory is the second thing to go. But I can't remember the first...

wrasse, common names include rockmover & the juveniles are dragon wrasse. The adults often move piles of rocks. Novaculichthys taeniours is the species, does anyone know the Hawaiian for these?
