funny thing you said that andy last time we were out here they were really silver and it on coral ground to,today all five of them come up real dark that would'n have anything to do with coral spawning will it?

I'm not sure

Wed, 2008-02-06 22:44


I've noticed two distinct colourations in fish taken from certain lumps. I don;t dive them so I am not sure what they are, limestone, reef or rock, though I have heard that the silver dhuies are taken on limestone lumps and the darker ones near rock. Simple answer is I am not sure.
Maybe Ryan can answer that one, I remember him saying something about it when it came up in another thread years ago.
