The orbicular batfish (Platax orbicularis) is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Ephippidae. It is found in the Indo-Pacific, but has been recorded outside its native range in the western Atlantic Ocean. Adult orbicular batfishes have round bodies, highly compressed and deep. Larger adults have an indented snout with a bony intraorbital protuberance. They have bands of thin, flattened, tricuspid teeth on both jaws. The dorsal and anal fins are yellowish with black margins, and there may be small black spots on the flanks.

Monodactylus argenteus - silver moonyfish, silver moony, butter bream, diamondfish

The silver moonyfish (Monodactylus argenteus), aka silver moony, butter bream, and diamondfish, is a species of fish in the family Monodactylidae. This fish is native to the western Pacific and Indian Oceans, including the Persian Gulf, Red Sea, and associated estuaries such as the Mekong Delta. The silver moonyfish is bright shiny silver with yellowish edges on its fins. The dorsal and anal fins have black tips. Juveniles display more yellow coloration and are distinguished by two vertical black bands. Its ability to survive in a wide range of salinities makes it a model organism for studying salinity tolerance.
