    • Wrasse, butterflies, boxfish, porcupines and pufferfish round out the picture, while lyretail grouper, Napoleon wrasse and rock cod mix with regal, map and other angelfish.
    • While boxfishes have the ability to complete 360 [degrees] turns with turning radii of effectively zero, these turns are relatively slow (100 [degrees] / sec/total length) but with larger radii.
    • Squid, cuttlefish, boxfish, stingrays and flatheads can be found among the rocky sections.
    • It has profuse fish and invertebrate life, including groupers, emperor snappers, longhorn boxfish, sweetlips and large Discodoris boholensis nudibranchs.
    • Squid, barracuda, and grouper were prevalent, as were French and Queen angelfish, small parrotfish, trumpet, and boxfishes.

    • To date we have tested our system on flow patterns generated by two- and three-blade propellers and, most recently, on volumetric mapping of the body of swimming boxfishes.
    • Early morning, the light on the south side is blue and diffuse, and you have all the time in the world to get lost among the stonefish, boxfish, turtles, coral trout and, of course, the multicoloured riot of soft corals.
    • In most of the boxfishes, vortex circulation increased from the posterior 3/4 of the carapace to the posterior edge of the carapace, but surface pressures along the carapace did not decrease.
    • There must have been at least half a dozen pepper morays, and we spotted a tiny juvenile boxfish hiding under the starboard side and looking like nothing so much as a bright yellow dice, less than the size of a thumbnail.
