Unknown Gallery: Aruba & Pacific Fish

[Chad_Ordelheide]

Here it is... "The Great Unknown Gallery".
For those of you who can identify a fish at 100 yards. PLEASE, come by and take a look. There are 30 fish of which I have found no name! Feel free to either comment/name them below the picture or on this thread. As they are named I will change their names in the gallery. I just hope some of you can identify them without even looking Good luck & thanks!!!!

I don't know why that link is somewhat generic. A link to only the gallery is below

Would it be possible for you to indicate where each picture was taken? That information will be quite helpful.

I named a few. The ones I was unsure of have a ? after.
Is there some sort of prize?

Thanks for the warm-up before my next trip!

Just guesses, this is fun.
Is #27 a terminal Sunset Wrasse thalassoma lutecens books say it hybridizes with the Saddle Wrasse T. duperrey.

Is # 29 a Blue-Eye Damselfish plectroglyphiodon johnstonianus?

#28 looks closeish to a juvenile Ornate Wrasse halichoeres ornatissimus

#17 looks maybe? Female Spotted Boxfish

#6 I don’t see the barbels but is looking similar to a Manybar Goatfish, only similar

#9 is looking like a juvenile Saddle Wrasse

#4 Juvenile Yellowstripe Coris, oops, Hawaii endemic

#3 looks like an adult Oval Chromis , Hawaii endemic though

Wow, thanks for the names! For those who missed where these picutures are from. At the bottom of each pictures it has a note that say the location(right below photographers name) They are either from Aruba or Guam. Thanks for all the great names/guesses so far

HB Diver: Hadn't thought about a prize. Maybe my favorite Guam/Palau picture...Ha Ha!? How about this, if you come to Guam, I'll take you on a dive?? Actually, I just graduated from Dental School from Loma Linda...Riverside/San Bernardino area. So Cal was my home the last few years. I have to admit...so far I don't miss the cold water!! Anyway, take a dive at Catalina for me!!

RedRover: I know I see we share a few fish with your guys in Hawaii Thanks for all the names! They will help me get started! We are coming to Mauii to meet my family in November. Are there any good dive sites you would recommend?

Perhaps seperating the pacific and the atlantic fish would be more helpful.
