Parascorpaena picta (Cuvier 1829), the Northern Scorpionfish. Indo-West Pacific. To 16 cm. in length. N. Sulawesi specimen.

Pectinia paeonia Palm Lettuce Coral. Indo-Pacific; Sri Lanka, Maldives to Fiji. Hand sized colonies are common on turbid water fringing reefs and reef flats with cleaner waters. Photosynthetic and feeder on small zooplankton. A hardy aquarium species that does best with strong lighting and water movement. Easily propagated by "fragging".

Mycedium elephantotus (Pallas 1776) Elephant Nose or Peacock Coral. Polyps similar to Oxypora, but face away (like periscopes) toward colony margins. Not commonly offered, though a hardy, interesting coral, sometimes of great colors. Appreciate bright lighting, mounting vertically or otherwise placed in areas of low siltation. N. Sulawesi 09.
