4 - Cuttle Fish
5 - Ballan Wrasse
6 - Mermaid's Purse (Dogfish Eggs)
7 - Yes, well done - A Triggerfish (we only get one type)
8 - Pollock again

Is 9 a goatfish?
Good try, very similar to a goatfish, but we dont get them in the UK.
Red Mullet, taste lurvely!!

Ah, I meant 11 is a cuckoo wrasse
Nope, not a cukoo, but could be a Corkwing, need a better shot to be sure.

We dived here also today and saw so many different kinds of fish I gave up counting! Like diving an aquarium

Thanks both

I like to look, not take Julie. I could swim across a legion of lobsters, followed by a horde of crabs and a batallion of Mullet and I would take only photos

Oh. I meant to say that number 9 (Red Mullet) had two very white and quite long barbels that it was using to probe the sand.
