Field Notes

Description:

I'm unsure of the ID of this stunning red tailed fish. Looks like a cross between a grouper and a hawkfish.. If someone could help me out here that would be great. I just find the colours stunning. Notice the electrical blue lining it's dorsal and anal fin.

Notes:

Second picture shows the face but is not very well focused.

Can someone help me ID this wrasse, it bears resemblance to a Red Sea Flasher Wrasse but that's as far as I get without a guidebook.

Thanks for the suggestion.. I agree that the colours are very similar but this isn't an angelfish.
