2 Engeneer goby / convict goby (juvi) Pholidichthys leucotaenia

3
Saddle Valentini Puffer (Canthigaster valentini)

5
Red Coris Wrasse (Coris gaimard)

7 Carberryi Anthias (Nemanthias carberryi)

8 Dussumieri Tang (Acanthurus dussumieri) im not certain of this one....another common name is pencil eye tang.....that fish is from 2 oceans display perhaps they will know

there a few I am sure of. some of those fish bring back great memories, especially that convict goby, such a great fish (if you dont mind excavations all over the place!)

Purple Tile fish Hoplolatilus purpureus

10
Vagabond Butterflyfish (Chaetodon vagabundus)

11 Ugly lion fish and plate

I am sure I have a better pic of that tile, and i had two other tiles in my time, i'll see if i can dig them out for you

 

[Mc]

Thanks that make things a lot easier.
I think I have got your pics of the other tiles.

I was thinking the butterfly was a vagabond, its just so black I thought maybe some other species I don't know.

Just saw the plate in the last pic. Do you know if that is Pterois Miles, I am really struggling to identify the lionfish.

Pic 4 is a blue line trigger. Better pic in my album.

Pic 4 is a blue line trigger. Better pic in my album.

I used yours for the blueline trigger profile already.
This one just looks so different, is it a juvenile?

 

[Nemos Janitor]

I would just think it is the pic. @richardmatlock can confirm

I do not think it is a monocanthus species as they normally have a spine in the dorsal fin on the head just above the eye.

 

[Mc]

Nemos Janitor heres a few of your I was wondering about.

 

[Nemos Janitor]

The first pic is a rear wrass and I am not sure on the species. It was in the De Jong tank. @Yuri might know.

The second pic is from the red sea and are Melon Butterflyfish - Chaetodon trifasciatus

The eel I wil check for you but also from the Red Sea. It is not a honeycomb.
