We are here in Fiji right now with my parents for their 50th anniv. We arrived yesterday and got to go snorkeling out in front of our house today. I'm now trying to figure out how to get this stuff home...lol.

Saw lots of the usual critters.

large schools of blue chromis on coral heads

Dwarf lion fish

A couple of different types of butterflies, saddlebacks, scribed, etc.

An amazing little Moorish idol, his coloration and markings way better than anything I have seen before.

An albino blue ribbon eel, he was super friendly.

Triggers

6 line wrasses

Tomato clowns and BTAs (kind of a whitish orange BTA)

a couple of goby/tiger pistol shrimp pairs (always a favorite)

a bunch of random wrasses

and my personal favorite, a light blue wrasse, it looks like rhomboid wrasse with the same markings, but an iridescent light blue. (we saw hundreds of them)

I didn't have a camera with me...foolish as I have a good camera at home.

For the SPS dudes, there was this crazy blue coral I know you would die to have in your tank.

No LPS and no Zoas.

Will hunt again later

You probably spent 1200 for the flight alone, hope ya at least brought an underwater camera or waterproof phone casing to record your snorkeling adventures for us all to see!!
