    I was in Turks and Caicos last week snorkeling and I came across these two fish that were absolutely stunning and I can't seem to identify them anywhere - anyone have any ideas?

    Turks has been the best snorkeling site I ever visited, I saw more species of fish there than anywhere else in the Carribean. The camera I have is new and I was not able to work out all the kinks yet.

    You're bang on evolved, I just looked it up. I'm gonna need a much larger tank, actually it may be cheaper simply to fly to the islands whenever I want to see one...
