sorry no pic, i will try to describe
i was snorkelling at parker point in rotto at the reef and seen this big blue thing(nearly a metre long) with eyes on top of its head fairly close together comparied to other fish, a longer bodied fish compaird to a snapper,which is a deep bodied fish( speaking of which, when snorkelling, one about 40cm in 3mtrs, awesome to see)
another person there said it was a blue morong? i searched this on the net and it seems to come up as what i know as a queen snapper.
any ideas
i know they have differant names for fish from the east coast to hear, so could it be something eles.
