Need help with my UW pictures - Sipadan, Lembeh Strights, North sulawesi

I have just come back from Sipadan, Lembeh Strights, North sulawesi
(Bunaken)and Sangalaki. I took a lot of underwater pictures when I was
there. The thing is that I need some help trying to identify the
underwater animals that I have on my page. Maybe some of you out there
can help me out with the names of the critters. I got lots of frog
fish, ghost pipefish etc but I have no idea what the "real names" are
for the stuff here. Just post (here on the NG) the names of what I got like on my
thumb nails like:
7 row down 5 col on left is a "bla bla" I really need the help and some of
the things here
are really really rare.

Thank you so much Telita!
Your a fish genius! As you can see I have changed my page around using
the names you have given me. I am at work now so I could only do the
first 4 thumbs but I will finish later tonight. I have tons more
pictures that I am eventually going to put up. Apparently some of the
animals I am going to put up are extremely rare from what I hear?some
maybe unknown. A diving buddy who lives near Lembeh and I took his
little boat 2 days off of the coast of N. Sulawesi to some little
island he had found some time back. It's a "muck" place and we are not
sure anybody else has dived there! When I get the time Ill put the
pictures I took there up too.

By the way do you know what kind of nudibranch the one on row 7 , on
the far right could be. I took saw it on Banka and I think it is
really beautiful.

Anybody that gets to see fish like this, let alone get such great pictures
of them doesn't deserve help. Next time, take us with you.
