Protammodytes is a genus of sand lances found in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
There are currently 3 recognized species in this genus:
Epinephelus is a genus of marine ray-finned fish, groupers from the subfamily Epinephelinae, part of the family Serranidae, which also includes the anthias and sea basses. They are predatory fish, largely associated with reefs and are found in tropical and subtropical seas throughout the world. They are important target species for fisheries.
A sand lance or sandlance is a fish belonging to the family Ammodytidae. Several species of sand lances are commonly known as "sand eels", though they are not related to true eels. Another variant name is launce, and all names of the fish are references to its slender body and pointed snout. The family name means "sand burrower", which describes the sand lance's habit of burrowing into sand to avoid tidal currents.
Dascyllus is a genus of fish in the family Pomacentridae. They are usually commensals with corals.
Pseudojuloides is a genus of wrasses native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Fusigobius is a genus of coral reef inhabiting gobies found throughout the Indian and western Pacific Oceans.
Scorpaenopsis is a genus of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Scorpaenidae, the scorpionfishes. The fishes in this genus are found in the Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Synodus is a genus of fish in the family Synodontidae found in Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans.
Cirrhilabrus, the fairy wrasses, is a genus of fish in the family Labridae native to coral reefs and nearby habitats in the Indo-Pacific region. They are brightly colored and do not surpass 16 cm (6.3 in) in length. Males are larger and more colorful than females. They are commonly kept in aquaria.
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
Trichonotus is a genus of marine gobiiform fishes. Species of Trichonotus are distributed throughout the Indo-West Pacific. This genus is the only member of the family Trichonotidae.
Parapercis is a genus of sandperches belonging to the family Pinguipedidae.
Acropoma is a genus of fish in the family Acropomatidae, the temperate ocean-basses or lanternbellies. They are native to the Indian Ocean and western Pacific Ocean. They are characterized by a ventral luminous organ that has a luminous gland, a lens, and a reflector. The shape of the luminous organ helps distinguish the species in the genus.
Ammodytes is a genus of sand lances native to the northern oceans.
Ammodytoides is a genus of sand lances native to the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Bleekeria is a genus of sand lances native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.
Ostorhinchus is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Apogonidae native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Pseudamia is a genus of cardinalfishes native to the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Hoplolatilus is a genus of tilefishes native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. The chameleon tilefish (Hoplolatilus chlupatyi), also known as the flashing tilefish, is well known in particular in the aquarium hobby due to its unique ability to change colors in an instant with the help of specialized proteins in its skin that can reflect light in different wavelengths, allowing it to cycle between primary and secondary colors on the light spectrum.
Pempheris is a genus of sweepers native to the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Pycnochromis is a genus belonging to the family Pomacentridae, the damselfishes and clownfishes, which is found in the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
