Honeycomb Cowfish
Banded Coral Shrimp
Donkey Dung Sea Cucumber ( Yes, that is really what it is called. )
Eyed Flounder. These are very unusual fish. They start out like normal fish, then, as they grow
into adulthood, they start to swim sideways and one eye will move to the other side of their
body. Adults are as you see here the side of the fish is now the top of the fish.
Flying Gurnard. A very unusual prehistoric looking fish. Both pictures are of the same fish.
When startled, they extend their huge pectoral fins ( Right photo ).
