New species for the Canaries - SURGEONFISH!

We got a real surprise last week when we came across a Monrovian Surgeonfish in the Arinaga Marine Reserve! This fish is normally only found on the West African Coast, and further south in the Cape Verde Islands. With its bright yellow spot it looks a bit like a Parrotfish, but the head and dorsal fins are very different. According to our friends in the University with warmer conditions here more of these migrants are turning up in the Canaries.
