Bridal Burrfish?

07 June 2011 - 02:25 AM

I saw this small reddish-purple burrfish (approx 5-6 inches long) diving a shallow sheltered site at St Vincent with Bill Tewes who ID'd it as a Bridal (not Bridled) Burrfish. He said it's very rare, which may be why I can't find anything about it on the net. I particularly would like a latin/scientific name if anyone can help. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a full-fish photo as I was diving with 100mm macro and extension tube that day but hopefully a portrait is enough. I know several members have dived with Bill, so maybe you've also seen one?
