It's hard to find the fish you're trying to identify if you've never attempted a fish identification before. Which, honestly, isn't the books fault - it's neatly organised into the different species, but if I've never seen a damselfish I have no idea that the fish I'm trying to identify IS a damselfish. This is made more frustrating by the fact that damselfish don't all have common traits, so two fish that could not look more different if they had arms and legs, could totally both be damselfish. I'm not sure this is a solvable problem, except with time and experience.

I'd read that photos were better when I bought the book, but this title had the most comprehensive list of species and I figured it can't really be THAT hard. But it can, and it is.
