OK this little fish has been a tank mate for two weeks and hides in the plants. He has a huge stripe that runs above his eye from his nose to the dorsel fin. The bottom fins have a orange tint to them and finally he has green spots. This is the only decent picture since he is very fast and scares easily... He is under the fake wood on the left side of the picture. I tell ya using a flash makes your tank look like oil sludge.....

Wes?

OK I thought with the body shape he was a snapper; and did a search for snapper fry. It appears this guy is a tiny mangrove snapper.

Wes do ya concur (or any one else)?

This is a sample photo...

Good job Jocko. It is a mangrove snapper--actual name is gray snapper--Lutjanus griseus. It's a cousin to the red snapper. For legality, it has to be 12" for you to have! Now, of course I won't say anything, but if the boys in blue had found it;

$$. Just FYI.

Due to my not wanting to get in trouble with the law with my Illegal fish, he is no longer in my tank.
