Skip

I agree, 3 Scamp, 1 yellow mouth, not to be confused with Yellow Edge Grouper who are usually found near the deep water Snowy Grouper

Is that a trick question? Because I sure would like to know what fish that is or, has it been photo shopped?

No, that bright yellow grouper is not a photoshop, I found it in a fishing report from the Maldives. Awesome fish, wish they had them up this way! And I really don't know the exact species.

Thats is why you to do not smell highlighters to catch a buzz.

I think somebody sniffed too many Highlighters.

Those are two African Pompanos, a tilefish, three scamp and a yellowmouth grouper. As lastcast said, the third one down is the yellowmouth. The tail of the yellowmouth is the give away, as it is a perfect jagged broom shape with no trailing tips. The two in the second picture are scamps as well. See the following link for a perfect picture of a yellowedge grouper. Note the popped eyes. Usually yellowedges come in from 200 feet or deeper. Note also that outside third of the edges of the pectoral fins are very yellow. Finally, note the very pronounced yellow eyes on the yellowedges.
