My Tahiti Trip - Fish ids requested

[ostrow]

Spent 10 days on Tahiti and Moorea. Did some snorkeling and diving. While I will post photo-intensive threads in my local forum, I have some ID requests.

This guy was eating a parrotfish at least half again his size:

Clearly a triggerfish of some sort:

What wrasse is this?

Ok I know what this is but it was cool:

Thanks!

I'm thinkinmg lizard fish for the first one.

Then titan trigger, male green bird wrasse, and chrysopterus clownfish.

That's one mean looking clownfish!

 

[ostrow]

I thought that on the wrasse too, but it was black as black can be... Saw dozens of them in different light too. All black.

 

[SDguy]

There's just no doubting that shape...

 

[humaguy]

I love that Titan...did he charge you?
What a beast!

Well that location rocks!

Peter's IDs are good... and the first photo is indeed a lizardfish... Saurida nebulosa to be exact.
