@EngOnDemand It's one of many variants of parrot fish that feed on small crustaceans, and coral. Note the long snout for getting in between the coral heads.

@KenLarkin @EngOnDemand Am thinking that is a scrawled filefish. Have a photo myself of one. Here is an internet photo of them, and note the blue ring around the eye. We see these diving Cozumel, and they are lovely. The blue glows electric. The parrotfish typically have more of a crosshatch, though a dive master pointed out one spotted variety that was less common and more green and yellow. Parrotfish we see are also a bit more rounded at the ends than the filefishes.https://reefguide.org/carib/pixhtml/scrawledfile3.html

@KenLarkin @EngOnDemand While looking for my filefish pic, found this one, which is my favorite. I did not see the little moray eel until I went back through the photos. Sneaky little sucker. The little eels slowly slide back and forth from their hidey holes like some kind of hydraulic Disney animatron.

@EngOnDemand Did you or your crew catch this on vaca? Or from an Internet grab?

@barrsniffsatjejuneanalysis I gleaned this off of The Old Salts Facebook Page. It is a Scrawled Flatfish.I've caught one before back before cellphone cameras. 🙂

@EngOnDemand 👍 Missing diving this year so much. I quit a corporate job in June and re-initiated a solo consulting focus. But needed to preserve $ for the transition this season. Diving is one of the most spiritual, uplifting, wonderful experiences I have had. It is an exquisite meditative experience, as one is totally present and in the moment during a 30-40 minute dive.

@EngOnDemand My boy and I got certified together when he was around 12, and traveled the Caribbean together for years. He is in college and thriving in his new life. Hubby does not dive, so I am going to have to figure out some way for us to vaca and secure a new dive buddy I trust. My son was a teenager, but we drilled so much on safety, I trust him more than a stranger dive buddy.

@barrsniffsatjejuneanalysis I too, hold a Diving Certification as of many years ago.It truly is an experience that I recommend to anyone physically capable. Totally amazing. Those who physically can't be certified should learn to snorkel. The shallows are typically far safer, less claustrophobic and incredible beautiful.

@EngOnDemand Good point. Turks and Caicos is expensive, but hubby and I squirrelled away $ to visit for 3 years straight 2016-2018 to snorkel the amazing reef off Windsong on Grace Bay, a few yards off the beach. The coral reef is roughly I'd say, about the size of a high school football field. One can snorkel and see all the incredible Caribbean coral and animals that divers drift diving other areas of the Carib get to see. We love it.

@EngOnDemand I found snorkling this reef as enjoyable as diving, because my diving experience was largely drift diving with a current. You see something cool... but you are on the move with the current and away you go. With snorkling this reef at Turks, we could stop and really watch something interesting going on. Just as meditative and sublime.

@EngOnDemand Fun diving pic with my dive buddy and buddies. Son and I are on the left of pic. The others are some beloved buds we met on the trip in Bonaire (island just north of Venezuela) and with whom we spent an amazing, bonding week.
