Ok, lets see if I can bail us out here by helping Grins finish this:

1. Painted Frogfish (Antennarius pictus)
2. Spotted Garden Eel (Heteroconger hassi)
3. Open Brain Red (Trachyphyllia radiata)
6. Already posted Dusky Jawfish (Opistognathus whitehursti)

still looking for others. Show us some love Niko!

3 of them are right, one is half right..but, the question now is, which one is only partial right..and as a hint, and the only hint i will give is the latin name for one of these is wrong, although the english name is right..

Lets see if Amphirion can get these too...

Sidebar Niko,

I think I know which one you are talking about, the open brain... but the scientific name has changed on that recently... I was confused for a moment too. Please confirm, check out http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=1732&N=0

I was going to put Wellsophyllia Trachyphyllia, but I have learned that this has since changed.

On number 3, as this can be called a few names, i will gift you all the first part of the scientific name, the rest is up too you's...

Symphyllia .......................

Niko is already in the holiday spirit! I don't care what anyone says about you Niko, you are ok in my book!
:thm:

Ok, #3 Symphyllia Valenciennesii

Come on guys and girls lets finish this! Niko's credit card is going to burst at the seems this month!

 

[Reefscape]

There we go, one is confirmed, number 3..no more guessing what that one is....and it aint even December yet and the holiday spirit is coming...

[Amphiprion]

That was the one I figured was off. It is arguable as to whether that is actually Symphyllia, though. I think Borneman's book does show a Symphyllia with that morphology, but there are Lobophyllia spp that look just like it outwardly. But that mussid group is tricky, period. The others I figured you got me on because I wasn't specific enough. Now, #5 is a different story :cry:.

 

[Amphiprion]

Alright, to recap (with #5 missing still):

1). Antennarius pictus

2). Heteroconger hassi

3). Symphyllia valenciennesii (I don't like narrowing down to species on corals like this)

4). Blastomussa wellsi

5). :cry:

6) Opistognathus whitehursti

...still trying to think of what 5 is. I have already eliminated almost 10 different families of fish...running out of options.

5. Blackfin Hogfish (Bodianus Loxozonus) ?
