I have just had a look at the photograph taken by Cully at Flinders Reef on 27/9/03. Nice shot!

It is a bigeye, genus Priacanthus.

I cannot see its tail, or a close view of the head so I would rather not try to put a species name on it, but it is definitely a species of bigeye.

I have a confession to make: I am an addict, addicted to diving. Some people may call it an obsession, but for me it's just a love of the ocean and all the things within it.
