AdamBT, I think that looks like a closer match. Thanks for the help!

Hi, I was just wondering whether these are Siganus virgatus (Virgate or double-barred rabbitfish).

This is because in my field guide Siganus doliatus is said to be restricted to the West Pacific, whereas Siganus virgatus is found in the Indo-Asian Pacific.

I've also put a link in the suggested ID above, see what you think.

Cheers,

Adam
