The fish I dont know, but the jelly seems like Pelagia noctiluca, or at least something very similar.

Thanks for the suggestion Gerard, some of the pictures look pretty close - Pelagia noctiluca also seems to have a 'worldwide' distribution which is pretty amazing (to me anyhow).

There's a photo in Reef Fish ID : tropical pacific that seems to match the fish:

Whitetongue Jack: Urasis helvola

Correct range, noted for forming schools.

Cheers,

Hey Marli -- glad to see you posting again. How were the Solomons?

Let's just say, I still prefer Indonesia. Mary Island rocked. The knee is mended to 90%. I have a cover. Life is good.

Cheers,

Marli
