9. is a goatfish.

I duno about the triggerfish - it's triggeresque, but the pectoral and anal fins dont look quite right. Where was it taken?

The Triggerfish had me wondering too Livvy. It seems to be missing that distinctive 'trigger' fin. It spotted me just after that photo was taken and disappeared under a flat piece of wreckage. I managed to lie on the bottom and get another shot before it disappeared, but not particularly good...

I'm thinking you've found a hybrid Dave!

they'll call it a triggave! Well done chap! x

....in all seriousness, probably a trigger thats been in the wars, very agressive fish at times. I should know, my friends bit the top of my finger off when i was cleaning the tank!!

That's a triggerfish Dave.

Ah...but I was destined to bring something back!! The crab provided 4 very nice sarnies.....the lobster would have been a main course for two or a starter for four

Nice pics, Dave.. I hate not knowing what a fish is called! There are loads of books around which will help you ID them critters! I have one called 'great british marine anaimals' which currently has a lovely pic of a blenny on the front. Tells you a bit about them as well as what their name is.
