Field Notes

Habitat:

Caribbean reefs.

Notes:

I'm fairly certain it's a Porgy from the Calamus genus. However, I'm not sure of the species. I'm leaning towards Sheephead, but possibly Saucereye, or Knobbed. If anyone knows for sure please comment. Thanks. His small colorful companion is a Fairy Basslet.
