St. Lucia - Jalousie Beach - Fish identification?

I looked everywhere online to no avail.

 

We had a wonderful snorkeling experience last week at Jalousie/Sugar Beach.

 

Saw quite a few "flat", reddish fish with a circular head and thinner body, approximately 9" with ID tags on them.

 

Would love to know what these were.

 

Thanks.

that's a strange description....flat with a round head? Could you give a bit more information?

size 9"? fins? eye locations? laying on bottom? swimming mid-water? hiding on coral?

only red fish that I know of that is seen while snorkeling is a squirrelfish, several varieties, all red some with bigger eyes that others. No idea why they would be tagged though. Odd.

if it didn't have an eye, how do you know that was the head?

 

swimming but no fins....sounds like something in the jellyfish family.

 

 

I think I found it!

Probably something common, but I had never encountered this before. Love St. Lucia snorkeling!
