what are these fish

[talloulou]

I took some pics of fish at the zoo awhile back and I wanted to add them to the gallery but I want to make sure I add them in the right catagory. I'm pretty new in the whole saltwater world so could someone help me out with these guys. I'm pretty sure the one is some sort of puffer. Are the others triggerfish?

spotted puffer, imperator angelfish, not sure about the third one.

the third one looks like a tang, or a type of parrotfish or something. Whatever it is it's wierd looking.

My husband, a Navy Diver, said the third one is some kind of parrotfish. I would do a google image search for parrotfish and see what comes up.

I put it in Tangs, Angels, and Butterflys for now. Do you have a picture of the rest of the body? I looked at some parrotfishes and they didn't seem to be a good match either. The picture can always be moved to the correct category later when we figure out where it goes.

#3 looks like an adult species of Naso. Can't tell you which just by the facial pics though.

Steve,

Could it be a juvenile Dussumier Tang? Colouration looks similiar

 

[steve-s]

Could be I guess but the mouth position looks wrong. Naso's mouth being midpoint where the dussumieri is lower down for grazing purposes, similar to a Kole tang but not as pronounced.

Cheers
Steve

Yeah thats the only difference I noticed also..The bump on its head is a little more defined.. But colouration is the same!
