Fishie Thursday

.

Oh, no, not another Squirrelfish!  I have to look at these guys on every dive, so you need to see them, too.  Dark eyes from staying up all night.
.

A Stoplight Parrotfish.  They have a most strange habit of changing from female to male if they live long enough.  All the eggs hatch as females.  The girls sometimes school, with one male 'guarding' them from other males. 
.
Oh, this is the "Initial Phase" color.  When the fish is old enough to do the presto chango, they change color, also.  They used to be called "Super Males"  but the name was changed a few years ago to "Terminal Phase"  haha.
.

No, I didn't have anything to do with the name change.  The Stoplight really is underappreciated, I think with the dramatic tail, and the rest of the rainbow colors it's one of the prettiest fish on the reef.
.

This gorgeous turquoise blue guy is a Striped Parrotfish.  The Initial Phase color is brown and white striped.  So is a Princess Parrotfish.  Hum, didn't do something right, here's the Princess Parrotfish below, jammed against the next photo.  Will I ever get the hang of this posting??
.

Let's have a yellow here, a French Grunt!  They make grunting noises if caught by a human(not me!) and taken out of the water.  I do not know why they are French.

A little Sharpnose Pufferfish, down in front.

And the face of a Parrot, saying 'oh dear', just before she turns and runs away.

And away I run!  Sorry to be so late today, had a hectic morning.

Thanks for stopping by!
