[FisHaRNekEd]

Thank you for all the help gents or ladies.

I will have the guessing game again after my next dive, im not too familiar with non game fish. And im new to scuba.

p.s. i have many more pics if anyone wants to see.

Groupers are also highly variable in color within the same localities and species and it even depends on their moods, time of day and different activities. I have a coney grouper and I regularly see it about 4 different colors and patterns and any combo there of.

Thanx for the ID

 

[Scuba Kid]

Yep, the last one looks like some kind of sweetlips. Pretty fish.

Hawkfish can get big depending on the species.

Beak like mouth definitely suggests that its not a grouper.....groupers have big lips.

Have a look at a footish long miniata or polleni. Mouth looks exactly like the pic. Not all groupers look the same.
I dont think he ment a beak i think he ment it was pointy.
