Bluestripe Snapper
Bluestripe Snapper (Lutjanus kasmira) is a very common species often found swimming in huge shoals slightly away from the reef in tropical and sub-tropical waters in the Indo-Pacific region. It's easy to misidentify these with Bigeye Snapper L.lutjanus, not helped by the fact that shoals often intermingle
