Yet More Photos:
Anyone got an ID on this fish? It doesn't seem to fit any description, all i can think of is a juvenile/intermediate phase napolean wrasse.
This guy was pecking at my mask and trying to force me out of his territory! Feisty little devil.
There are plenty more if people want to see them!
Just let me know.

Edr42, I can honestly say those are some of the most beautiful reef photos I've ever seen- Thanks so much 
Hope you won't mind an off topic question: do wallabies wander around the streets there? I ran across some photos for Townsville (in my quest to determine if Townsville needs me to move there and open up a Tex/Mex/Cajun restaurant) and it was mentioned that there were wallabies right outside the dorm.

yup, the wallabies are all over the place
They mostly come out at dawn and dusk and just sit in the shade during the day, but they do wander about.
Any sort of restauraunt would go down well in Townsville, and if you aim at the uni (JCU) there will be no shortage of customers at all. Incidentally, about a third of JCU is American exchange students, and the first thing they all do is look for the local mexican place, of which there is only one.

The reef is really in pretty good condition. Australia has much more resources to spread around to protect the reef, so there are literally millions of untouches (and unseen) reefs that are protected from exploitation. Some of the inshore and tourist reefs are run down, with broken up and bleached corals, but the vast majority are just like the photos. Just make sure you take a dive boat that goes away from the usual spots.
If you have the appropriate licences, you can just wander out and collect your own specimens, there are howere very strict bag limits and impact prevention measures that make sure noone goes out there with a trawl net and pick axe to collect fish and corals. I am always very careful when i go out collecting.
