Hubby and I are learning more about Caribbean marine life. We are learning about fish anatomy, different groups, corals, sponges, and other marine life. I am only learning the common names for now. Genus and species might come later. We’ll see.
Here’s a Queen Parrotfish (Initial Stage) with a broad, white mid-body stripe. I do not have a picture of the mature fish, but it would be a blue/green color with dramatic blue to green markings around the mouth.

Here’s another picture of the Queen Parrotfish (initial stage) in the center. There’s a Blue Parrotfish in the upper left and an Orangespotted Filefish towards the back:

If you look real close in the center of this picture, you’ll see the Orangespotted Filefish with it’s white spot on the upper tail base:
