Its a Flag Rockfish (Sebastes rubrivinctus), they're saltwater...does look a lot like a datnoid though ...datnoids are probably a rockfish that adapted and evolved into freshwater...but thats just my assumption

Nope it's not freshwater.It is some type of grouper or snapper....Looks like some kind of Lutjanus.

Nice work clownknife.There are a few salties that look as if they are related to dats,ever seen a tripletail?

Thanks i thought it would have some type if relation to a dat..... They do look really similar to a dat.... They are pretty nice looking.... Figured it was saltwater because of the intense color.... Thanks again

& you're right, there are quite a few marine species that look like dats...most of them being groupers

No,never heard of such a wrasse but the tripletail looks just like a dat but with a yellowish to brown body.One day I will have one.
