  • Peppermint Goby just above a Knobby Cactus coral.
  • Boulder Brain coral
  • Blue Tang, juvenile
  • Foureye Butterflyfish with a Cymothoid Isopod attached. The Cymothoid Isopod is not a parasite but rather feeds from the bits that the host fish fails to swallow. The Isopod will attach for life and await the attachment of a younger smaller male and mate. Later when the older larger female dies, the male changes sexes to await the next male.
  • Banded Butterflyfish
  • Barred Hamlet
  • Orangespotted Filefish
  • Hawksbill trutle distinguished by two pairs of plates between the eyes (green turtles have one).
