I saw a file fish that I did not recognize yesterday and found this REALLY comprehensive website that I wanted to share. So far it's the best one with the most critters that I've found. The one I saw at a cleaning station was a Oange Spotted Filefish. He is in a picture below, getting cleaned.

We snorkled sapphire yesterday, and I finally saw some great colonies of staghorn! Snapped some pics (of course).... By the way, I hope everyone's tried the BBQ up there at Off the Grid! It's soooooo good, best ribs I've ever had and I'm from TX! Great price too, 1LB of meat and 2 sides for $10.00 and beers for $2! Third time we've eaten there lol. Burger topped with pulled pork, and chicken is also fantastic!

Nice pics! (tu)

The Paul Humann set of books for identification of fish, reef creatures and coral is still my "go to" for reference material.

You know what kinda sucks... I sold my reef book collection of over 50 books for $1k before I moved down here lol. Woulda cost a mint to ship them but realize now I should keep a few lol. Luckily for me, my parents own a bookstore in the states 😉

You should have looked into media mail shipping. Very cost affordable way to send books, cds, dvd's etc.
