IDs
1. Western Wobbegong Orectolobus hutchinsi
2. Leopard Wirrah Acanthistius pardalotus (different to Western Wirrah)
3. Brown-spotted Wrasse? Notolabrus parilus This is a very unusal colour pattern, so I am a little reserved on the ID. The spots on the chin give me a pretty good idea. Shame the photo is out of focus.
4. Brown-spotted Wrasse (female) Notolabrus parilus
I think I'm going to need to write a post about how best to photograph fish for ID :-)
