beivied said:i know it becos i saw it in a book ma. it was written as coral grouper. now that you cal it coral cod, i searched for it in the website and they look the same, so should be the same la, haha. i try to find out the names lo, and i am trying to get near to fishes to take pictures. Aways take pictures of things that cannot move or dont move much.
one new thing i learn this time also is sailor's eyeball, a type of coral. it is very shiny and hard. the first time i saw one i thought it was a marble and i actually touched it k and i thought confirmed it is a marble. i usually dont touch things one. scarly i keep seeing them and got various sizes, then i realised it wasnt marble... flipped through the book and saw it. quite comprehensive, cos it covers mostly what you can see in the indo pacific. thinking of buyin it also .. any good species book to recommend?
quite happy that for this trip i seem to consume less air. about 30 to 50 bar less consumed than the other divers. might be the regulator. quite smooth breathing. still got size problem la, around the waist is ok, i got thick waist, but bcd keep slipping off my shoulder, shucks.

priase.. praise.... half of my dive kakis dont even know what a coral cod looks like..! hee hee
beivied said:haha, it came near enough for me to tell its size la. a bit scared la, so over exaggerated. ;p maybe even less than 50 cm, but the size definitely enough to fit a big dinner plate, hahaha..
blurblock said:Tao Ge Neo .... you may be talking about the same fish lah, but .....
Fishes that are commonly know as Coral Grouper :-
Scientific name :
Epinephelus corallicola
Cephalopholis miniata
Plectropomus leopardus
Plectropomus oligacanthus
Fishes that are commonly know as Coral Cod:
Scientific Name :
Helicolenus percoides
Cephalopholis boenak
Cephalopholis miniata
Plectropomus maculatus
Cephalopholis argus
Thus, I guess both of you must be talking about Cephalopholis Minitata.![]()
