Fish from our morning snorkel

This morning, we snorkeled again and found some lovely fish that hung around long enough for photo opportunities.

The first fish is the Peacock Grouper.  It was introduced to the Hawaiian Islands from Moorea (Tahiti) in 1956.  It reminds us of a mash-up of a couple of Caribbean grouper species.  This one was about 14 inches long.

 

We also saw quite a few different surgeonfishes.  Below are two surgeonfish species.

This is the Convict Surgeonfish -- named for its stripes.  (6 or 7 inches long)

This is the Orangeband Surgeonfish, about 10 inches long.
