Re: Fish Identification
I caught it on prawn meat, you can see that i caught a wrasse together with the Angelfish.
Personally, i do not find squid very effective, if it were i can save a lot of money on bait. lol

Re: Fish Identification
Ah. Thanks for your reply! I agree, I only use squid when the current is strong cause it's less likely to slide off the hook like prawn meat.redeyefishing wrote: ↑Sat Jan 12, 2019 12:40 amI caught it on prawn meat, you can see that i caught a wrasse together with the Angelfish.

be very careful you are considering it, they are extremely sharp.
I had accidents and needed medical assistance to remove them.

Re: Fish Identification
This is pretty late, but I just caught one at BJT yesterday afternoon as well.
Went to do some research on chromis and damselfishes and realized it's in a genus of its own- a species of demoiselle hahahah. It should be a Regal Demoiselle (Neopomacentrus cyanomos)

Hope this info proves useful to redeye and yourself, Peace!

Re: Fish Identification
Yes it certainly does look similar.
This site shows it in the exact same colours.

Re: Fish Identification
That's a Monogrammed Monocle Bream, aka Dua Bak Gor. Nice catch there!

Re: Fish Identification
Thanks Peace, it confused me because it didn't have the typical broken line pattern along the body.

Re: Fish Identification
Anyone here know what damsel species this might be? First time encountering it, and it doesn’t seem to be one of the more common scissortail, bengal or sergeant major.

Re: Fish Identification
I believe that's a Staghorn Damselfish (Amblyglyphidodon curacao). Good find!
