As I mentioned in my last post about Stony Corals, I want to be able to identify coral by their groupings in order to make it easier to remember it's specific features and look it up later on. This section is all about octocorals (aka Gorgonians).

Damselfish Family
This group of Damselfish make up the fourth installation of my fish coloring book. I'm fairly confident we'll get to see some Sergeant Major fish when we go snorkeling, but many of the others are included here because they are beautiful (especially the juveniles) and should be fun to color.
The Parrotfish Family
I finally finished the Parrotfish collection! This is the third installation of my fish coloring book featuring several species of Parrotfish - many of which are a very common sight when snorkeling, diving, or even just walking along the docks! I think my niece will really enjoy these fish - especially because they big enough to be easy to spot - even for a 6-year-old newbie snorkeler. Not only are Parrotfish a fairly common sight, but I think they are also some of the most beautiful fish I've seen and should be a lot of fun to color!
The Butterflyfish Family
This collection of Butterflyfish make up the second installation of my fish coloring book. My plan for this coloring book is to represent either fish that my niece would be most likely to see when snorkeling or fish that would be fun to color. While I'm not sure we'll be so lucky as to get to see butterfly fish while snorkeling (fingers crossed), I think Butterfly fish are really beautiful and definitely meet the second criteria!
The Snapper Family
This small collection of drawings of fish from the Snapper Family marks the first installation of my fish coloring book. I chose yellowtail snapper and Schoolmaster to start my fish coloring book project because I wanted to make this a collection of fish that my niece would be most likely to see when snorkeling (or fish that would be fun to color). I don't think I've ever been out diving or snorkeling in the Keys without seeing a Yellow tail snapper or a Schoolmaster.
