$Crocodile Fish Cymbacephalus beauforti occurs in the tropical West Pacific in shallow waters from 1-12 m. The species, an ambush predator, lives on sand or rubble substrates of sheltered or semi-exposed reefs and is also found in coral reefs and mangrove areas. \nThe cirri (= leafy appendages above the eyes) break up the outline of the eye, so its much harder for their prey to spot them. Somehow looking a bit like a crocodile, this species is much smaller, the maximum length is 50 cm, but the common length is 35 cm.

The Reef Lizardfish (Synodus variegatus) is a carnivorous fish commonly found in coral reefs and shallow waters in the Indo-Pacific region. It has a slender body and a large head with a wide mouth filled with sharp teeth, making it a fierce predator of small fish and crustaceans. The lizardfish's body is typically colored in shades of brown or gray, allowing it to blend seamlessly into its surroundings and ambush unsuspecting prey. Despite its fearsome appearance, the Reef Lizardfish is an important part of the coral reef ecosystem and plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the food chain.

$Blacktip Grouper Epinephelus fasciatus occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific from the Red Sea to South Africa and eastward to the Pitcairn Group, north to Japan and Korea, south to the Arafura Sea, southern Queensland in Australia and Lord Howe Island in a depth range from 4-160m (usually 20-45m), max. length 40cm. Blacktip Grouper is common in outer reef slopes at depths below 15 m, and also occurs in protected bays and lagoons as shallow as 4 m. \nThis species exhibits a combination of simultaneous and sequential hermaphroditism. Smaller individuals within a social group are simultaneous hermaphrodites, while the largest often lose female function and reproduce exclusively as a male. \nThis specimen is looking out in a typical position, on the pectoral fins.\nTriton Bay, Kaimana Regency, West Papua Province, Indonesia \n3°56'26.082 S 134°7'36.63 E at 12m depth$
