| Leopard
Moray (Gymnothorax Undulatus) |
|
 The leopard moray has
a general squat shape. Its forward section appears rather large and tall
because of its massive head and its dorsal fin that begins at the nape of
what may be considered as its neck and the gill aperture. The colour of
its body is marbled in appearance and the head is spotted. The edge of the
gills and the tip of the tail are white. It lives amidst the nooks and crannies
of the reef as well as in the flat areas and the slopes of the reef. The
leopard moray grows to length of 1.5 metres. |
| Longnose
Hawkfish (Oxycirrhites Typus) |
 A cylindrical body,
taller at the centre and terminating in an elongated snout. The mouth is
small and the spinous part of the dorsal fin bears a series of appendages.
The pectoral fins are particularly well developed and are used to balance
over gorgonians. Amongst the gorgonians the fish is perfectly camouflaged
because of its matching tone and colour, the series of red stripes that
form a checkerboard design. The longnose hawkfish attains a length of 10
to 13 centimentres. |
