Observations by chrisross

Believe this is a young grey flatwing hasn't developed the grey pruinose appearence as yet.

believe this is longirostris based on dorsal spine count of 11. see second cropped image.

Seems to be the red and white variation of the freckled hawkfish.

Initial phase

Large schools up to 50 strong seen on these reefs.

Separate observation for each species.

separate observation for each species being entered

Quite a few fish in main pic, adding a closeup and duplicating for each species

Bar Cheek trevally, that swam by us on our dive, depth was 10-12m range.

Yellow-Mask anglefish. Looks to me like it's wearing a blue surgical mask. Sa a number of these of the reefs here.

Black Trevally, small school swam down gully and straight past us. Note large emperor in the background.

Need to eliminate F.longirostris or not? Is there enough detail to say one way of the other?

I've added an enlarged view of the 3 fish.

Can't place this fish seems like a damsel but I can't find any matches

Anemone fish - should be Clarkes but narrow second band would indicate orangefin anemonefish but it's out of range?

closeup image seems to indicate that tail is yellow.

Dive on Clerke reef, depth around 23m. Did not seem common in the area.

Found on Reef slope at about 15m, looks closest to E.tigris, but this is restricted to Osprey Reef area

Very common at Rowley Shoals dive sites - seems different colouration of males to other images from different sites
