Aspasmichthys is a genus of clingfishes from the western Pacific Ocean.
There are currently two recognized species in this genus: [2] [3]
Amblyglyphidodon is a genus of fish in the family Pomacentridae. These damselfish swim singly, in pairs, or in small groups. They are often found among corals.
Helcogramma striatum, commonly called the tropical striped triplefin, the striped threefin or the neon triplefin, is a triplefin blenny of the genus Helcogramma, native from the central Indo-Pacific.
Scorpaenodes is a genus of fish in the family Scorpaenidae native to the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Forcipiger is a genus of fish in the family Chaetodontidae, the butterflyfishes. It is distributed throughout the Indo-Pacific region. The name of this genus means “bearing forceps” and is a reference to the long, slender snouts of the species in this genus.
Cirrhilabrus is a genus of fish in the family Labridae native to reefs in the Indian and Pacific Ocean, commonly kept in aquaria.
Pseudochromis is a genus of fish in the family Pseudochromidae found in Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Pseudanthias is a genus of colourful reef fishes of the subfamily Anthiinae, part of the family Serranidae, the groupers and sea basses. They are found in the Indo-Pacific. The species belonging to this genus have a diet consisting of zooplankton, and are haremic. Fishes currently included in this genus were earlier part of the genus Anthias. Pseudanthias is the largest anthiine genus
Paracheilinus is a genus of flasher wrasses, native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.
Ostorhinchus compressus, commonly called the ochre-striped cardinalfish, blue-eyed cardinalfish or split banded cardinalfish, is a marine cardinalfish from the Indo-West Pacific from the family Apogonidae. It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade. It grows to a size of 12 cm in length.
Pseudotrichonotus is a genus of fish in the family Pseudotrichonotidae native to the Indian and Pacific Ocean. This genus is the only member of its family.
Hemiscyllium is a genus of sharks in the family Hemiscylliidae.
Hemiscyllium galei, the Cenderawasih epaulette shark, is a species of bamboo shark in the family Hemiscylliidae. Together with H. henryi, it was only scientifically described in 2008 by Gerald R. Allen and Mark V. Erdmann. At present, H. galei is only known from depths of 2 to 4 metres at reefs in the Cenderawasih Bay in West Papua, Indonesia. The largest known specimen was 56.8 centimetres (22.4 in) long. It can be separated from its relatives by the combination of seven relatively large dark spots along the side of the body, white markings on the edge of its dark dorsal saddles and other scattered white spots on the upper side.
The Triton epaulette shark is a species of bamboo shark in the genus Hemiscyllium, that is composed of nine morphologically similar, yet distinct sharks that are geographically restricted to New Guinea and northern Australia. Hemiscylliidae are small nocturnal sharks aptly named "walking sharks" who exhibit a "crawling" movement while foraging on the ocean floor for fish and benthic invertebrates.
The whitemargin moray or the white-edged moray, Gymnothorax albimarginatus, is a species of marine fish in the family Muraenidae.
The greyface moray eel, also called the freckled moray, slender moray, or white-eyed moray, Gymnothorax thyrsoideus, is a species of marine fish in the family Muraenidae.
Lepadichthys is a genus of clingfishes native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Grallenia is a genus of fish in the family Gobiidae native to the western Pacific Ocean.
Sueviota is a genus of fish in the family Gobiidae native to the Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Heniochus varius, the horned bannerfish or humphead bannerfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a butterflyfish belonging to the family Chaetodontidae, native from the central Indo-Pacific area.
Aspasmichthys alorensis is a species of clingfish found in the western Pacific Ocean in Indonesia. The species was described by Gerald R. Allen and Mark Erdmann in 2012 from a type collected at submerged reef in the Alor Strait, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia at a depth 16 meters,. It is apparently associated with sponges.
