Description For once I'm actually not sure what kind of fish this is. I initially thought it was a bumphead parrotfish because of the small bump on the forehead, but if it was a bumphead, the bump would be much larger and the teeth would be very visible. I was a pretty good size fish (as you can tell by the whale shark in the background), and if anyone knows what it is, I'd love to know

Taken at the Goergia Aquarium

I don't know what kind it is either.
Fishy taxonomy is hard sometimes.

Cool capture, though!
Nice whale shark in the background, too!

Spooky!
