That looks like a Grey Angelfish to me. Maybe I’m reading Paul Humann wrong but I look for the yellow edges on scales on a French, and dark grey ”bubbles” on the scales of a Grey.

Oops. The new one picture at a time rule got me! Here is one I ID’d as a Grey, same dive, same camera, same “enhancement“ on my iPad.

Wow! You're right. Thanks for the identification. I've got to change the above comments.

Por nada, amigo! I have a sort of a fetish for Angelfish. One of my favorite memories was a drift dive off West Palm Beach, FL where in a single dive, on a single roll of film in my trusty old Nikonos. I got good images of a French, a Grey, a Blue, a Queen and even a little Rock Beauty. Five Angels on a single dive! This time in Nassau in June I got good images of the Grey and French and a pretty good one of a Queen, but only marginal images of a Blue and questionable for the Rock Beauty. And that was 4 two tank dives and over 400 images. Wanna see a bunch of fuzzy pictures of inquisitive reef sharks?

They weren't aggressive, but on some dives I felt like shooing them away so I could take pictures of other fish... ANY other fish!
