Mandarin Fish (Synchiropus splendidus) - Marine fish
Paracanthurus hepatus
Mandarinfish have a layer of slime instead of scales that protects it from disease and predators.
Mandarin fishes inhabit shallow protected lagoons and inshore reefs. They occur in the Western Pacific from Ryukyu Islands to Australia, usually in small groups spread over small area in a depth range from 1-18m, max. length 7cm. \nMandarinfish do not have scales, but a mucus layer for protection. It is not only a stinky slime they produce, but they also secrete a toxin to protect them against predators. Their dramatic colouration, known as aposematism, is a warning: unpalatability and toxicity - both prey and predator get to live longer. \nThe couples perform an extraordinary courtship dance at dusk. Females gather at the reef, judging if a male is worthy. A male who has successfully courted a lady attaches to her at the pelvic fin. Then the pair swim up from the reef towards the waters surface, releasing a cloud of sperm and around 200 eggs smaller than 1mm. \nThis specimen is a male: The presence of an elongated spine at the front of the first dorsal fin of males is distinctive. Females will not have this spike and will have a rounded first dorsal fin instead. In this case, there was a female too, but she didn't make it into the photo.\nBanda Neira Island, Indonesia, \n4°30'40.842 S 129°53'19.71 E at 1.5m depth

Foursaddle Grouper Epinephelus spilotoceps occurs in the tropical Indo-West-Pacific from East coast of Africa to the Line Islands. Except for its occurrence along the African coast (Zanzibar, Tanzania to Ponta Zavora, Mozambique) it seems to be primarily an insular species, occurring at most (probably all) of the islands of tropical Indian and west-central Pacific in a depth range from 0 to 30m, max. length 47cm. \n\nUsually species have a more ore less specific behaviour. Groupers are shy and have a long escape distance. This specimen was unusually curious and followed the photographer attentively for quite a while.\n\nTriton Bay, Indonesia \n3°54'2.346 S 134°6'32.099 E at 12m depth
