Hi Guys,
Just came back from a 3 day trip to Playa del Carmen. I did some awesome dives and took my first UW pictures. I was hoping you could help me identify these beings.

These were mostly reef dives, with the exception of the pictures with the green algies and leaves which was just outside a cavern, fresh water.

Images upload are disabled on scubaboard so I posted the images in flickr.

Thanks so much,
 
#11 is a school of porkfish
#14 is some type of blenny
#28 may be a type of puffer?
#50 is a nudibranch (flamingo tongue?)

I'd have to look up the rest.
 
Yes, but you were a bit more thorough! LOL
 
64's a catfish.
62... just can't tell from that angle - got any more?

11.- porkfish
14.- redlip blenny
28.- sharpnose puffer
74.- jolthead porgy
62 -- Cannot tell, any other photo of this one?
 
Thanks everybody.
Sometimes I know the name we call them in portuguese, sometimes in english, it's complicated. I knew the catfish we call BAGRE in portuguese, but I forgot about catfish.

I am not so convinced the P5270028 is a puffer. Couldn't it be a box fish?

Thanks again
