Help with a few Bonaire ID's

[vondo]

I've got everything from Bonaire ID'ed to my satisfaction except for these three. One is a damsel of some sort, one a blenny, and the last one, worm or slug or ...?

Thank you,

Eric

The first is not a damsel, it looks like a juvenile grouper. Looking at the pigment on the face I am thinking Comb Grouper Mycteroperca acutirostris.
I believe the 2nd is a species of Triple tail, family Tripterygiidae, though it will be difficult to confirm an idea from that picture.
The bristle worm I am not sure about.

agree with Ryan on 1 and 2.
Although you probably meant to say tripleFIN instead of tail
3 might be a scale worm

 

[ryan115]

yes completly meant triplefin, not tail...again why I prefer scientific names to common names.

Thanks to both of you. Unfortunately I don't have another photo for ID of the Triplefin.

The bristle worm looks like a red-tipped fireworm - Chloeia viridis.

Agree #1 is a comb grouper and #2 a triplefin (probably a roughhead or a redeye). I don't know about the worm, doesn't exactly look like a red-tipped to me, but could be. There are so dang many different members of the Amphinomidae though.
