isn't minute = small, tiny, pygmy
and leatherjacket = filefish ???

 

[ScoobaKev]

Yes, that's exactly why the Common Name is sometimes different....

What I'm interested to know is the exact species (scientific) name.

I used lots of patience, and a fast shutter speed (1/125 sec at least). Also hung around long enough to get used to their swim patterns among the coral...that way you can anticipate when they'll come by next.

Yes, they're only seen at 2 sites now but they were abundant about 2 seasons ago. Vanished last season and now back again!

Enjoy 'hunting' for them!
