These are some of the most uncommon fish in Cozumel, some you may know, but please put attention to them because they are not in every reef, some can be confuse with other species, but believe me after 4 years of doing survays, I know they are not that common.
This is an effort to show you what not many dive masters will be able to show you.
For more information and verification, please refer to the Caribbean Fish book from REEF.

Yellow face Jawfish (Novia in Spanish)
This is the Yellowface Jawfish, (Opistognathus aurifrons).
This one fish hovers vertically on top of it´s hole, and has a yellowface, this can be easily confused with the Hovering Gobie, but this one is very very common, the reason why I post it, is so you can see the difference among the two of them species.
