On a snorkel trip yesterday I spotted a fish I hadn't seen before. I took pictures of it and looked through my book when I returned home. It was the terminal phase of the Yellowstripe Coris which I have seen many times before. The fish I had seen before were a younger version known as an Initial phase. I had noticed different phases listed for reef fish but this is the most dramatically different I've seen myself. The striped fish is the initial phase and the greenish blue is the terminal phase.
