$Diagonalbanded Sweetlips Plectorhinchus lineatus occurs in the tropical Western Pacific from Ryukyu Islands to Ogasawara Islands to the Great Barrier Reef and New Caledonia in a depth range from 1-35m, max. length 72cm but rarely more than 60cm. The species lives solitary or in groups, looking for benthic mollusks and crustaceans and some little fish mainly during night, whilst at day it rests among the rocks and corals. \nTriton Bay, West Papua Province, Indonesia, \n3°55'1.0977 S 134°6'4.6351 E at 16m depth.$

The Red Sea is a rich and diverse ecosystem. More than 1200 species of fish have been recorded in the Red Sea, and around 10% of these are found nowhere else. This also includes 42 species of deepwater fish. The rich diversity is in part due to the 2,000 km (1,240 mi) of coral reef extending along its coastline; these fringing reefs are 5000–7000 years old and are largely formed of stony acropora and porites corals. The reefs form platforms and sometimes lagoons along the coast and occasional other features such as cylinders (such as the Blue Hole (Red Sea) at Dahab). These coastal reefs are also visited by pelagic species of Red Sea fish, including some of the 44 species of shark.

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

Underwater nature background of healthy coral garden reef ecosystem with fish and natural sun light. Great Barrier Reef, Queensland, Australia.

A vibrant underwater scene with clear blue water and a school of various types of fish. The main focus of the image is a large school of silver fish with streamlined bodies and forked tails at the forefront. The seabed is visible below, covered in rocks and coral formations that provide a natural habitat for the marine life. Sunlight penetrates the water surface above, illuminating the scene and creating patterns of light and shadow throughout.

$Redbelly Yellowtail Fusilier Caesio cuning occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific from Sri Lanka to Vanuatu, to southern Japan and to northern Australia in a depth range from 1-60m, max. length 60cm. The species inhabits coastal areas, usually over rocky and coral reefs forming schools in midwater, feeding on zooplankton. The species is often encountered in silty areas with low visibility at 1-30 m depth. \nSome other fishes like a Rabbitfish, two species of Sergeant Major Fishes and three species of Snappers, Surgeonfishes, Butterflyfishes, Damselfishes a Parrotfish are there. \nTriton Bay, Kaimana Regency, Indonesia, 3°51'36.6 S 133°58'17.55 E at 5m depth$

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.
