Solomon Islands

Here are some clips from video that I took from Guadalcanal to Morovo Lagoon. Been looking on the internet and in books. Conclusion, I suck at id.

Brushtail Tang?

The clear tubes?

Was jumping around all over the place.

Bicolor, Bleeker's parrotfish or neither?

Feathery coral

Yellow buttercups

Yellow crop circles

- Juvenile bushtail tang (Zebrasomas scopas).
- Solitary clear tunicate; likely Clavelina sp.
- Got a larger, clearer photo?
- Neither. It appears to be a Scarus sp, but I don't know which one. Parrotfish can go through a number of phases and therefore can be hinkey to identify.
- Feathery soft coral; Heteroxenia sp.
- Orange cup coral (Tubastraea coccinea).
- Nudibranch eggs casing; very likely laid by Notodoris minor (banana nudibranch).
