Hello everyone, I am new to the forum.
I started a aquarium image website awhile back because I am orginally from Taiwan, there is a lot of marine life at Asian country that we normally don't see here and I got the permission from a magazine company in Taiwan for me to use their pictures and make a website out of it. (Mostly freshwater stuff)
However, I am having hard time identifying the aquatic animals from the images. I am not that expert and I was hoping someone can help me out.
Here is the marine section

Enjoy the pictures and please help me identify the fish/reef in the marine section. Thanks.

Alright, I will give it a whirl. These are in order of appearance of the unknown (and some corrections):
1. Diodon hystrix is actually a Chilomycterus antennatus
2. One of the Chelonids--not a sea turtle expert
3. looks like p. orientalis and p. chaetodontoides
4. Moray could be a number of species--maybe a larger picture (maybe Gymnothorax javanicus)--location would also help.
5. some sort of spiny lobster--Panulirus sp. (probably P. guttatus (again, location would help)
6. Paracirrhites forsteri
7. anemone--no clue
8. Sweetlips (Plectorhinchus sp), one of several possible species
9. Another chelonid
10. Emperor penguin
11. Cheilinus undulatus
12. Pseudanthias pleurotaenia (female changing to male)
13. Larger picture, otherwise no clue (maybe a crocodile fish)
14. male of # 12
15 None of these are C. carcharias--Carcharhinus leucas bull shark
16 same as 15
17. Carcharias taurus--sandtiger shark
18. Maybe a Protoreaster species
19. same
20 ?
21 Holocanthus ciliaris
22. Epinephelus striatus nassau grouper
23 Ctenochaetus striatus Kole, yellow eye, or striped bristletooth tang
hope that helps (with what I could identify)

Thanks again
