Cantherhines is a genus of filefishes.
There are currently 12 recognized species in this genus: [1]
The flagtails are a family (Kuhliidae) of perciform fish of the Indo-Pacific area. The family consists of about 12 species in one genus, Kuhlia. Most are euryhaline and often found in brackish water, but the genus also includes species restricted to marine or fresh water.
The filefish (Monacanthidae) are a diverse family of tropical to subtropical tetraodontiform marine fish, which are also known as foolfish, leatherjackets or shingles. They live in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. Filefish are closely related to triggerfish, pufferfish and trunkfish.
Canthigaster is a genus in the pufferfish family (Tetraodontidae). A fish from this genus is sometimes referred to as a "toby" or a "sharpnose puffer".
Apogon is a large genus of fish in the family Apogonidae, the cardinalfishes. They are among the most common fish on coral reefs. Over 200 species have been classified in genus Apogon as members of several subgenera. Some of these subgenera, such as Ostorhinchus, have been elevated to genus status, leaving just over 50 species in the genus.
Synodus is a genus of fish in the family Synodontidae found in Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans.
Pseudomonacanthus is a genus in the filefishes native to the Indian and western Pacific oceans.
Cantherhines dumerilii is a species of fish in the family Monacanthidae, the filefishes. Its common names include whitespotted filefish, barred filefish, orange-fin file, and yelloweye leatherjacket. It is distributed in the Indian and Pacific Oceans where it is found on coral reefs.
Brachaluteres is a genus of filefish of the family Monacanthidae. The genus name "Brachaluteres" is derived from the Greek brachys and the Latin luteus. Fish of the genus occur in the tropical waters of the Western Pacific Ocean.
Aluterus is a genus of filefishes.
Oxymonacanthus is a genus of filefishes native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Pervagor is a genus of filefishes native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Crystallodytes is a genus of sandburrowers native to the Pacific Ocean.
Gnatholepis is a genus of fish in the family Gobiidae, the gobies. It is the only marine genus in the subfamily Gobionellinae, which otherwise includes mostly estuary-dwelling and freshwater fish. Gnatholepis are tropical fish associated with sandy habitat around corals.
Novaculops is a genus of wrasses native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Carvel Rock is an uninhabited islet of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, less than 2 acres (8,100 m2) in size. It lies at the southern edge of the archipelago, south of and roughly between Ginger Island and Cooper Island.
Cantherhines macrocerus, commonly known as the whitespotted filefish, American whitespotted filefish, or whitespotted limefish, is a marine fish found along the coast of Florida extending southward into the Caribbean. This species is distinct and separate from Cantherhines dumerilii, the similarly named whitespotted filefish which is found in the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Whitespotted filefish is a common name for several fishes and may refer to:
The orangespotted filefish is a species of filefish described by Ranzani in 1842. and it is native to shallow waters in the tropical and subtropical Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico.
Rudarius ercodes, the whitespotted pygmy filefish, is a species of reef filefish in the family Monacanthidae. It is a small fish, growing to only 5 cm (2 in), and is found in the temperate waters of Japan. It is kept in captivity and has been successfully captive bred.
Aluterus heudelotii, the dotterel filefish, is a filefish of the family Monacanthidae. It is found in the western Atlantic from northern Gulf of Mexico to Brazil, and in the eastern Atlantic from Senegal to southern Angola. This demersal species inhabits seagrass, sand or mud in shallow waters, typically between 10 and 100 m and occasionally down to 2000 m. It growth up to 45 cm, with a typical length of 30 cm, and feeds on plants such as algae and seagrasses.
