Marine life identification (mostly corals)

[n03]

[h=5]Hey everyone, I need some help identifying marine life. I'm looking for the popular name and the scientific name, if possible. These are all from the Similan Islands in Thailand.

Corals (these are the most difficult for me):

The green in the fish reminds me of a yellowtail coris( Coris gaimard)

The first pic is some kind of gorgonian I think. The coral nub after it looks like a young Pocillopora (maybe meandrina?). The fish is not Coris gaimard, but a species parrotfish (Scaridae). Unsure of the species.
