Above, with Blacksaddle Toby, Canthigaster valentini, below. This is an opportunity to compare the two, which many people mix up.
Note the different fin shapes: the filefish has long dorsal and anal fins that attach half the length of the body, while the toby has tiny fan-shaped fins. The texture of the spotted pattern is different as well.

A lifer for me (well, the female of this dimorphic species). I was very excited to see it.

One of many compound ascidian taxa at this site and same general concept applies everywhere in SA....there are so many undescribed ascidians it's almost a disgrace when one looks at research expenditure on the GBR's 4-600 stony corals!(most of which occur circum-equatorially)

Adult in sea-grass on a shore dive. I've included 6 pics of the same individual. The last 3 pics all include a decorator crab,Naxia aurita,on the far side of the subject fish's head.In pics 4 and 5 it and the flat-head are both watching me closely,but in 6th pic the crab has decided to begin discretely moving away from this diver with his flashy camera,while the fish lingers.
