Hawaiian Spinner Dolphin

We saw these at Two Step. We were not that close to them, but could see them spinning in the distance.

Ulae--Capricorn Lizardfish

Lizardfish ambush their predators as they patiently wait for prey to come within striking distance. We saw this one perched deep down atop coral at Two Step.

Garden Eel

Rich saw this little guy

The most timid of all eels.

Blue Line Wrasse

I saw this guy snorkeling. There are so many wrasses! I am sure we are missing some, but the more we snorkel, the more we see.

Lined Coris Wrasse

Rich saw this female lined coris. They are endemic to Hawaii and not seen often.

U'u--Shoulderbar or Pearly Soldierfish

We saw many of these at Two Step. They are easy to spot because of red color and big eyes.

Dark bar at gill opening. Body color may vary from pinkish-silver to orange-red. Tips of dorsal and anal fin and tail are usually of a more pronounced red edged with white.

Humuhumu lei--Lei or Whiteline Trigger Fish

Saw a pair of these at Two Steps.

White stripe from mouth to base of anal fin. Double bar from pectoral fin over eye to base of pectoral fin.  Body grey. A territorial fish that often attempts to charge divers.
