Chocolate Grouper
Cephalopholis boenak
The chocolate grouper is a Indo-Pacific reef grouper that lives on coral and rocky reefs, often near drop-offs and ledges. It is a compact ambush predator that takes small fish and crustaceans and is usually caught incidentally rather than targeted in most areas.
Christmas Wrasse
Thalassoma trilobatum
Christmas wrasse is a colorful Indo-Pacific reef fish that lives close to coral and rocky bottoms. It is an active day-feeder that picks small invertebrates from the reef, and it is not a major target for most anglers.
Cigar Wrasse
Cheilio inermis
A slender Indo-Pacific wrasse with a cigar-shaped body and a pointed snout, often seen cruising shallow reefs and seagrass beds. It is not a common target for anglers and is better treated as a reef fish to observe than to pursue.
Clark's Anemonefish
Amphiprion clarkii
Clark's anemonefish is a hardy tropical reef clownfish found with sea anemones across the Indo-Pacific. It is one of the most adaptable anemonefishes, living in shallow lagoon and outer-reef habitats and defending a host anemone aggressively.
Clown Coris
Coris aygula
Clown Coris is a reef-associated wrasse from Indo-Pacific tropical waters. Adults are vivid blue-green with orange to red markings, and juveniles look very different, which can make field ID tricky.
Clown Triggerfish
Balistoides conspicillum
The clown triggerfish is a boldly patterned Indo-Pacific reef fish with a strong, beaklike jaw and an aggressive temperament when defended or cornered. It is not a standard food or sport target everywhere, and local rules or reef-protection concerns can limit keeping or harvest.

Common Lionfish
Pterois volitans
The common lionfish (Pterois volitans) is a venomous Indo-Pacific reef fish now widely established in the western Atlantic, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico. It is a nocturnal ambush predator that has become an invasive species in many areas.
Common Mola
Mola mola
The common mola, or ocean sunfish, is a huge, laterally flattened pelagic fish best known for its truncated body and drifting near the surface. It feeds mainly on jellyfish and other gelatinous zooplankton, and is rarely targeted by anglers.
Common Seahorse
Hippocampus kuda
Common seahorses are small, armored ambush predators that live in shallow coastal waters and are often associated with seagrass, mangroves, and other structured habitats. They are not a target sport fish; records for Hippocampus kuda are often complicated by identification issues within the genus.
