Well as some of you know, every summer I collect my own tropical saltwater fish. These juvenile fish are carried by the gulf stream from Florida, The Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean to northern waters.
They are a bit late in coming up here this year and we were afraid we would not have much luck this season. However, on Monday morning we went out snorkeling and seining for them and came back with a decent variety.
Here are the pics:
Bandtail Puffer:
Bicolor Damselfish (the one with a half dark purple color and half pale yellow) and a Beaugregory Damsel (metallic blue on top and bright yellow underneath)
Bluespotted Cornetfish
And a "boston bean" trunkfish
He's the small round black thing with tiny eyes and a TINY mouth.
We also got a spotfin butterflyfish, but he was hiding while I was taking pics.
Enjoy, and let me know what you think.
