Rhomboplites aurorubens

 

Vermilion snappers look a lot like their relatives the red snappers but they're smaller and have yellow lines on their sides and a pale belly. They live with red snappers, too, preferring the flat areas on the tops and around the bases of the snapper banks to their steeply sloping sides.
