The Longjaw Squirrelfish, in addition to its abnormally long jaw, can be identified by its gold body stripes and very long anal fin spine. Its dorsal fin has 2 rows of white spots. You can use species of squirrelfish as a depth gauge: as you go deeper, this fish becomes more abundant, being the most abundant squirrelfish between 100-200 feet.

BatFish - Short Nose

Shortnose Batfish are one-of-a-kind. Their mouths are turned down making them appear bitter and angry. They have a unicorn-like projection between their eyes and two dark bands that border a pale band on the tail. Their color and markings are mottled, and they hide on the bottom and cover themselves with sand and mud to camouflage themselves. They walk on the bottom on their fins. These grumpy gus's are found in depths anywhere from 1-1,000 feet of water, but, alas, are an uncommon sight. Don't waste all your air looking for this sourpuss.
