Abstract	Two specimens of the Yellowfin Surgeonfish AcanthurusxanthopterusValenciennes, 1835were collected for the first time from Libya and for the second time from the Mediterranean Sea. It is suggested that this species reached the Mediterranean Sea via theSuez Canal(Lessepsian migrant) and its exclusion from the Red Sea ichthyofauna in the past may not be justify.
Keywords	Lessepsian migrant, Surgeonfish, Mediterranean Sea, Libya, citizen science.
