Cirripectes polyzona (Bleeker, 1868) (Barred blenny) Occur in algal ridge and ridge crests between surge channels of exposed seaward reefs to a depth of about 3 m . Benthic . Feed on algae and associated minute invertebrates like forams, ostracods, and gastropods. Oviparous . Eggs are demersal and adhesive .
Petroscirtes thepassii Bleeker, 1853 (Thepas' sabretooth blenny) Occurs in shallow seagrass beds where it hides by pressing itself against a blade of seagrass. Oviparous . Eggs are demersal and adhesive .
Ekemblemaria myersi Stephens, 1963 (Reefsand blenny)
Entomacrodus decussatus (Bleeker, 1858) (Wavy-lined blenny) Found in surge reef margins. Oviparous . Eggs are demersal and adhesive .
Entomacrodus caudofasciatus (Regan, 1909) (Tail-barred rockskipper) Found along rocky intertidal shorelines, benches, outer reef flats, and reef margins subject to some degree of wave action. Oviparous . Eggs are demersal and adhesive .
Exallias brevis (Kner, 1868) (Leopard blenny) Occur on clear coastal reefs, often in bays and semi-exposed habitats . Found on the seaward edge of reefs, among corals like Acropora, Pocillopora, Seriatopora, Porites, and Millepora where they feed on coral tissues . ...

Eubalichthys mosaicus (Ramsay & Ogilby, 1886) (Mosaic leatherjacket) Adults are found on deep offshore reefs down to about 140 m, while juveniles occur in estuaries and on coastal reefs .
Pervagor melanocephalus (Bleeker, 1853) (Redtail filefish) Inhabits clear coastal reefs and protected outer reef habitats with rich invertebrate growth . Prefers deeper reefs. Often in pairs . Secretive, adults are usually in pairs .
Novaculichthys macrolepidotus (Bloch, 1791) (Seagrass wrasse) Found in seagrass beds and sandy algal flats of lagoons and mangrove channels. Secretive amongst the vegetation and well-camouflaged .

Tautogolabrus adspersus (Walbaum, 1792) (Blue perch) Inhabits shallow, inshore waters, living on or near the bottom, often congregating in masses around wharves, wrecks and submerged seaweed. During winter they become torpid and remain inshore under rocks in shallow water .
Cheilodipterus isostigmus (Schultz, 1940) (Dog-toothed cardinalfish) Occurs in lagoon reefs to depths of at least 12 m. Usually in small groups among staghorn corals . Often collected with C. quinquelineatus, but tends to prefer deeper areas . Feeds on small fishes.
Chaetodon auripes Jordan and Snyder, 1901 (Oriental butterflyfish) Inhabit rocky reefs with algae and coral . Solitary or in groups . Feed on benthic invertebrates . Oviparous . Form pairs during breeding .
