One of the jawfish, looks like an Opistognathus. Species I'm not sure.

Maybe Bullseye Jawfish, Opistognathus scops, but defenitly not sure.

@ralph possibly, it looked pretty stressed and faded colours so it might be difficult to ID. Thanks for your help anyway.

@DaLilFishie Could be an undescribed species even, still a lot of jawfish awaiting formal description.

This one was labeled Opistognathus castelnaui on a painting in the same section of the aquarium.

@RatioTile Looks fairly good for castelnaui, probably what it is.

@RatioTile I just posted a pic of an octopus that was in the same exhibit as the jawfish. Did you see the signage for it? I don't know what species it is. Octopus ID - ZooChat
