$Ribboned Sweetlips Plectorhinchus polytaenia occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific from West Coast India to Australia in a depth range from 5-40m on coastal and seaward reefs, max. length 50cm. The species is found singly, in small groups under ledges or large resting aggregations by day, foraging for small invertebrates at night. Adults are found on deep, current-prone slopes with rich invertebrate growth; juveniles on sheltered reefs nearby. \nBluestreak Cleaner Wrasses Labroides dimidiatus usually occur in pairs in the tropical Indo-Pacific in a depth range from 1-40m, usually 1-30m, max. length 14cm. The species creates 'cleaning stations' to which fishes come to have crustacean ectoparasites and mucus removed. Cleaning intensity is not related to client size or commonness. Even hands of divers will be cleaned if presented to the cleaning station! \nThis specimen was encountered in the Triton Bay, Kaimana Regency, West Papua Province, Indonesia, 3°54'50.604 S 134°6'0.828 E at 15m depth.$

$Bigfin Reef Squids are easy to distinguish from other squids in that they possess thick and muscular oval fins that extend around almost the entire mantle. Because of these fins, bigfin reef squids are sometimes mistaken for cuttlefish. The bigfin reef squid is the most widespread species in the genus Sepioteuthis. It is found in temperate and tropical regions of the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific Ocean.\nAt night, when the Bigfin Reef Squids are most active, they are commonly found in shallow areas from 0-100m around reefs, sea grass beds, sandy bottoms, or rocky shorelines. They surface at night, as it is less likely to be detected by predators. During the day, they generally move to deeper waters or near any form of cover, such as floating driftwood, reefs, rocks, or grasses.\nSquids have speedy colour-changing abilities as their pigment cells, the chromatophores, rapidly change size and colour and the visual effect is enhanced by light reflecting cells, the iridocytes. They can shoot ink (dark melanin pigment) to confuse predators and aide in escapes. \nTriton Bay, West Papua Province, Indonesia, 3°56'17.7941 S 134°7'10.2802 E at 1m depth$

While the upper plateau of the famous Blue Corner reef at a depth of 10m hardly has any large corals (the storms are too strong at this exposed point), larger coral formations can survive at 17m. They offer shelter to several fish species. Blotcheye Solderfishes Myripristis berndti occurs in the Indo-Pacific and the Eastern Pacific in a depth range from 3 to 160m, feeds mainly on plankton such as crab larvae. Max. length 30cm, common 22cm. Common Bluestripe Snapper Lutjanus kasmira occurs throughout most of the Indo-Pacific region in a depth range from 2-265m, common length 25cm, max. 40cm. In daytime, this species forms nearly stationary schools and feeds individually by night on crustaceans and fishes. Blue Corner, Palau 7°8'3.65 N 134°13'10.52 E at 17m depth.
