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.

Lembeh : In search of the Holy GrailLembeh : In search of the Holy Grail

by MonaD

It is a strange feeling to get back to a place such as Lembeh. Six months ago, it took me by surprise. My camera overheated at every dive. I was overwhelmed by all these new critters .
