$Mandarin fishes inhabit shallow protected lagoons and inshore reefs. They occur in the Western Pacific from Ryukyu Islands to Australia, usually in small groups spread over small area in a depth range from 1-18m, max. length 7cm. \nMandarinfish do not have scales, but a mucus layer for protection. It is not only a stinky slime they produce, but they also secrete a toxin to protect them against predators. Their dramatic colouration, known as aposematism, is a warning: unpalatability and toxicity - both prey and predator get to live longer. \nThe couples perform an extraordinary courtship dance at dusk. Females gather at the reef, judging if a male is worthy. A male who has successfully courted a lady attaches to her at the pelvic fin. Then the pair swim up from the reef towards the waters surface, releasing a cloud of sperm and around 200 eggs smaller than 1mm. \nThis specimen is a male: The presence of an elongated spine at the front of the first dorsal fin of males is distinctive. Females will not have this spike and will have a rounded first dorsal fin instead. In this case, there was a female too, but she didn't make it into the photo.\nBanda Neira Island, Indonesia, \n4°30'40.842 S 129°53'19.71 E at 1.5m depth$

Adults of Humphead or Napoleon Wrasse Cheilinus undulatus develop thick lips and a prominent bulbous hump on the forehead and can grow up to more than 2.2 meters. The species inhabits steep outer reef slopes, channel slopes and lagoon reefs. Primary food are mollusks, fishes, sea urchins, crustaceans and other invertebrates. Napoleon Wrasse is one of the few predators of toxic animals such as sea hares, boxfishes and crown-of-thorns starfish. Napoleon Wrasse is is seriously endangered, being hunted to the brink of extinction to feed a growing demand among wealthy Chinese diners for luxury live fish. Not wise, so crown-of-thorns starfishes take over and destroy the reefs.

$Golden Damsel Amblyglyphidodon aureus occurs in the tropical Western Pacific from Andaman Sea and Christmas Island in the Eastern Indian Ocean to Fiji, north to the Ryukyu Islands, south to Rowly Shoals and New Caledonia in a depth range from 3-45m, max. length 13cm.\nJuveniles in small groups are often found among large sea fans. Adults occur in steep outer reef, occasionally in deep lagoons and along channel walls, usually in current prone habitats and where there are abundant gorgonian and long sea-whip corals on which they lay and guard eggs. The species feeds on zooplankton. \nMost of the time, a fish's behavior depends on its species. From time to time it is possible to meet exceptions, like this specimen, a very curious character, not shy at all, who came back looking at the camera many times.\nTriton Bay, West Papua Province, Indonesia, \n3°54'52.0617 S 134°7'21.3867 E at 9m depth$

The species is common in shallow coastal reefs with moderate currents, also in tidal channels of estuaries. Adults are usually in small schools comprising pairs. The mouthbrooders form distinct pairs during courtship and spawning. \nBelow there are two Spotted-gill Cardinalfishes Ostorhinchus chrysopomus. The species occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific from the Indo-Malay Archipelago to New Guinea and Solomon Islands in a depth range from 2-25m, max. length 10cm. \nTriton Bay, Kaimana Regency, West Papua Province, Indonesia, \n3°51'48.03 S 133°55'48.96 E at 6m depth by night$
