Blue-lined Surgeonfish
Scientific name: Acanthurus lineatus
A Blue-lined Surgeonfish - Photographed at Hin Pusa in the Similans, Thailand
The Blue-lined surgeonfish is a bit more solitary than other surgeonfish. In fact, it's reported to be quite territorial, although it can't do the damage to divers that triggers can do.
Please note: Identification of fish, corals, etc. is a tricky business. It's entirely possible that I've incorrectly identified a photo I've taken. If you spot an error, please contact me so I can correct it and improve this resource.
