Blue-lined Surgeonfish

Scientific name: Acanthurus lineatus

Blue-lined Surgeonfish
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.
