I wasn't happy with not knowing the proper names of some of the fish I was seeing. So, I went out and bought a couple of books to help me out. I bought:
This book is full of drawings of fish.

This book is really sweet. It uses photographs to help you identify fish.
Now, identifying fish and reef creatures has never been easier! So, I went back and edited my old posts so that the correct names are displayed. I feel that increased accuracy of fish identification will increase the quality of this here blog.
Some great pictures on your site. The Reef Creatures is a great book and its companion Reef Fish Identification is equally good. My wife and I use both books to identify fish and creatures we see on our snorkeling trips here in Cayman.
