The big one right in the center. Looks like a Queen Trigger but lacks the coloration and the markings.

that is a mature blueline. They are HUGE and not as pretty as the juvi's IMO.

At a glance, I would say Ocean trigger, but after a close look its definitely an adult Blueline.

I agree its an ocean trigger. They have a 14" for sale at lfs near me. They are terrors.

that is probably a grey. I bet the people who run that tank have sense enough not to put an ocean trigger in that tank.

I think it is an ocean trigger, Canthidermis sufflamen.

i've caught many of both (ocean and grays) The one in that pic is a gray. For those who are not sure just look at the other fish in the tank. There all Atlantic ocean fish.
