The beautiful fish we saw off Félicité Island - les beaux poissons qu'on a vus aux abords de Félicité Island

Striped Surgeon - Chirurgien clown (Acanthurus lineatus) & Convict Tang - Chirurgien bagnard (Acanthurus triostegus)

Powderblue Surgeonfish - Chirurgien à dos jaune (Acanthurus leucosternon)

Powderblue Surgeonfish - Chirurgien à dos jaune (Acanthurus leucosternon) & I'm not sure about the other fish, but looked like he could be of the parrotfish family, only less vividly coloured

Moorish Idol - Idole des Maures (Zanclus cornutus)

Yellow-tail blue damsels - Demoiselles bleues et jaunes (Chrysiptera parasema)

Convict Tang(s) by the dozen - Chirurgien bagnard (Acanthurus triostegus)

two Powderblue Surgeonfish and a Parrotfish (Scarus family - no wonder I found it difficult to find a picture that looked exactly like the ones I saw, their colour patterns can change during the day!)

a beautiful yellow fish, should anybody recognise it, they're welcome to help me identify it! & to its left, a Sergeant- Major - Poisson bagnard (Abudefduf vaigiensis)

Threadfin Butterflyfish - Papillon cocher (Chaetodon auriga) & a Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse - Labre nettoyeur (Labroides dimidiatus)

Picassofish - Baliste Picasso (Rhinecanthus aculeatus), you probably won't see it very well on this picture, even if you make it bigger, but it looks like the one in the smaller picture (source). A well-deserved name!

and these strange fish, who can help us identify them??
