Longfin Batfish (Platax teira)Observer
underwaterpatDescription
Seen being cleaned by a barberfish and female Mexican hogfish—can't seem to find a record of this fish anywhere in Baja! It's not in the books for the area, fishbase or otherwise, nor are there any observations on iNaturalist of this fish in Mexico! Weird!!

Shark was about 6ft long and seen at a depth of 130ft at La Jolla Shores. The shark stayed with 5 divers for a couple minutes and did not seem to care we were there. It sauntered deeper into the canyon and we did not follow it. Photo credit: TJ Esposito.

Panamic Sergeant Major (Abudefduf troschelii)Observer
gcruzstephenDescription
Was able to see these fish in the northern-most part of their range. There were two of them swimming in the Embacadero park marina. The fish has 5 dark stripes like a sergeant major, so it is not a zebra chub. It also had a damselfish shaped body and swam like one too . Also has the yellow coloration that fades to white which no other fish in Southern California has. I had a video but I can't upload it here.
