Grand Turk - filefish??

[lowwall]

Daytime on a wall (maybe 70'?) in Grand Turk. Subject is 1.5"-2" (4-5cm) long. Someone at the dive shop suggested it's a juvenile filefish.

Thanks.

Slender Filefish is my guess.

Great shot, lowwall. I'm going there in a few weeks. Where did you stay and how was the diving? Good vis and water temp?

Thanks herman.

pilot fish, I stayed at Osprey. I have a trip report with links to more pics here:

I'm afraid it's not a glowing tribute. I had a good time, but I have no plans on going back.

I also vote for slender filefish (Monacanthus tuckeri).
