Paraplesiops

	Paraplesiops ''Paraplesiops'' is a genus containing five largely allopatric species of fishes in the longfin, or roundhead, family Plesiopidae, commonly known as blue devils, bluedevils, or blue devilfish because of their colouration. The genus is most similar to the tropical genera '' Plesiops'' and '' Fraudella''. It is restricted to subtropical and temperate rocky and coral reefs in Australian waters. Its species are mostly cryptic, occurring in submarine caves, crevices and under rocky ledges.

	Eastern Blue Devil ''Paraplesiops bleekeri'', commonly known as the eastern blue devil, blue-tipped long-fin or Bleeker's blue devil fish, is a species of fish in the family Plesiopidae. This colourful, secretive fish is endemic to Australia, where it is a protected species. Description This species grows to 40 cm, and is recognizable by blue and white bands on the body, blue spots on the head, and blue dorsal and anal fins. It also has a yellow base, pectoral, and caudal fins. The pelvic, posterior dorsal, and anal fins are all elongated. This species is a close relative of the southern blue devil (''Paraplesiops meleagris''), which lives in the colder southern Australian waters. Distribution The fish is found in coastal waters of eastern Australia between the Gold Coast of southern Queensland and Montague Island, most commonly between Sydney and Ulladulla. Behaviour This species is shy and secretive. Males have appeared to defend territories in caves or overhangs, where it remains to att ...

	Paraplesiops Meleagris The southern blue devil (''Paraplesiops meleagris'') is a species of fish in the longfin family Plesiopidae endemic to southern Australia. It is a close relative of the eastern blue devil (''Paraplesiops bleekeri''), which lives in the coastal waters of eastern Australia, and of the western blue devil (''P. sinclairi''), of southwestern Western Australia with which it is sometimes considered conspecific. Description The fish grows to about 350 mm in length. It is generally deep blue, bluish, or blue-brown in colour with a scattering of brighter blue spots, with a long dorsal and large anal and pelvic fins.

	Plesiopidae The longfins, also known as roundheads or spiny basslets, are a family, Plesiopidae, which were formerly placed in the order Perciformes but are now regarded as being ''incertae sedis'' in the subseries Ovalentaria in the clade Percomorpha. They are elongated fishes, found in the Indian Ocean and western Pacific Ocean. Classification In some classifications, the genus ''Notograptus'' is split in its own family, Notograptidae, but FishBase is followed here. There are two subfamilies within the Plesiopidae and the genera are as follows: Subfamily Acanthoclininae Günther, 1861 * Genus ''Acanthoclinus'' Jenyns, 1841 Genus ''Acanthoplesiops'' Regan, 1912 Genus ''Beliops'' Hardy, 1985 Genus ''Belonepterygion'' McCulloch, 1915 Genus ''Notograptus'' Günther, 1867 * Subfamily Plesiopinae Günther, 1861 Genus '' Assessor'' Whitley, 1935 Genus ''Calloplesiops'' Fowler and Bean, 1930 Genus '' Fraudella'' Whitley, 1935 Genus '' Pa ...
