Reef Lizardfish

It had been a while since I saw a lizardfish, so I was happy to spot this one recently, perched on the side of a weed-covered rock in the shallows.

Do you have a species list of fish and water creatures spotted like bird waters have?

  I have a couple of great books, one for fish and the other for marine invertebrates, written by a guy who lives on the island though, ironically, a ways from the water and within spitting distance of the volcano!

      That’s true. I always start there before heading online for more information.

I don’t need to ask how it got its name. Good photo.

  They do blend in rather well.
