Fish ID Please

Post by PapaZ »

Here are a couple stills from video clips in Hawaii a couple weeks ago.

Would appreciate common names for these as not finding them on ID charts.

Thanks,

What and the Peacock Flounder gets no spot on shout out? Well, at least it looks the same as the Peacock Flounder of Bonaire. :boxer:
