Wow, amazing shots you got there.

The one you're looking to ID is a male ornate thornback cowfish (Aracana ornata).

Wow....

And they let it go on....

Don't quote me but apparently it changed to new owners around a year ago. So I have been informed on my local forum. As quoted by a couple of members on that forum. "One of the curators there has a bad attitude, they have lost most of the truly knowledgeable staff, the only pre requisit to get a job there is having a divers license. Place some fish keepers in there and this place could be fantastic." and another stated "It is under different management. The Chinese bought it last year and that's when they started changing stuff and shutting down tanks."

No unfortunately, I know the one above is a Lagoon triggerfish - Rhinecanthus aculeatus or Picaso. If anyone knows the identity of that one, again it would be appreciated.
