The familiar and ubiquitous Powder Blue Surgeon Fish, one of the famous icons of the Maldives.

 

Convict SurgeonFish, given their name because of the vertical bars.
Surgeonfish have a blade-like spine near their tail. Often used in defence. Or for surgery :-). The Red-Masked Surgeonfish at Maaya Thila love to swim in your bubbles and come very close to you, but remember not to reach out for them!

 

Orange-spine Unicornfish and Spotted Unicornfish
Unicornfish belong to the same family as the surgeonfish and they also have that nasty spine thingy near their tail.

Humpback Unicornfish and a Juvenile Spotted Unicorn
