Ok, that´s what it will be :-) --- also agree with you, thanks for quick reaction.
Ohhh definitely a stoplight parrotfish! What a fantastic photo, love how you captured the colours so well! Photos like these make me want to go diving again so badly. Lovely pic :)
Agree, question is whether a stoplight parrotfish or a striped parrotfish?
