Clearly related to the African Marabou this is a smaller but equally ugly bird.
This species is listed as vulnerable on the red data list having a declining World population which is currently sitting at under 8,000 mature individuals (Birdlife International).
An adjutant (literally one who helps) is a military term applied to a low-ranking officer who assists a more senior officer.
I don't think I'd want one of these guys as my "bagman"!
Lesser Adjutants are still quite common in Sri Lanka.

(Bos javanicus) The banteng (Bos javanicus), is a species of wild cattle found in Southeast Asia.Banteng have also been introduced to Northern Australia, where they have established stable feral populations
The white-breasted waterhen is a waterbird of the rail and crake family, Rallidae, that is widely distributed across Southeast Asia and the Indian Subcontinent. They are dark slaty birds with a clean white face, breast and belly. They are somewhat bolder than most other rails and are often seen stepping slowly with their tail cocked upright in open marshes or even drains near busy roads. They are largely crepuscular in activity and during the breeding season, just after the first rains, make loud and repetitive croaking calls.
Adult white-breasted waterhens have mainly dark grey upperparts and flanks, and a white face, neck and breast. The lower belly and undertail are cinnamon coloured. The body is flattened laterally to allow easier passage through the reeds or undergrowth. They have long toes, a short tail and a yellow bill and legs. Sexes are similar but females measure slightly smaller. Immature birds are much duller versions of the adults. The downy chicks are black, as with all rails.
Several subspecies are named for the populations that are widely distributed. The nominate subspecies is described from Sri Lanka but is often widened to include chinensis of mainland India and adjoining regions in Asia, west to Arabia and east nearly to Japan. The remaining subspecies are those from islands and include insularis of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, midnicobaricus of the central Nicobars, leucocephala of Car Nicobar, maldivus of the Maldives, javanicus of Java and leucomelanus of Sulawesi and the Lesser Sundas.

Probably Mariscus javanicus aka Cyperus javanicus. Flying Fish Cove, Christmas Island, Australia, April 2011.
Deze kwamen we tegen op een diepte van ongeveer 7 meter in de rode zee / Egypte. Vlak bij onze boot :-) Machtig beest om te zien!
Gymnothorax javanicus is een murenesoort uit het geslacht Gymnothorax. Deze murene komt voor in de rifgebieden van de Indische en de Stille Oceaan en de Rode Zee. Hij behoort tot de grootste murenen in deze gebieden en kan een lengte van 3 meter bereiken. Zijn vlees is vaak giftig (ciguatoxisch). Volwassen exemplaren hebben talrijke grote zwarte luipaard-achtige vlekken. Hij voedt zich met vissen en schaaldieren. (bron: www.tropcal.be)
The Banteng (Bos javanicus), also known as Tembadau, is a species of wild cattle found in Southeast Asia. Banteng have been domesticated in several places in Southeast Asia, and there are around 1.5 million domestic Banteng, which are called Bali cattle. These animals are used as working animals, and for their meat. Bali cattle have also been introduced to Northern Australia, where they live wild.
Banded Broadbill
The banded broadbill (Eurylaimus javanicus) is a species of bird in the Eurylaimidae family. It is found in Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests. It is a large broadbill (21.5–23 cm), with purple, yellow and black plumage. It eats predominantly insects, including grasshoppers, crickets, katydids, various beetles, caterpillars and larvae.

The wonderful underwater photography of David Fleetham - 2012 *Full story: www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/hqcw There are a host of amazing things to see beneath the sea - as photographer David Fleetham's stunning images prove. Documenting life beneath the waves, David's images show the startling variety of life that can be found in the world's oceans. From the weird and wonderful to the cute or fearsome, a whole other world lurks just beneath the surface. Photographing underwater scenes since 1976, David has captured on film the creatures that populate everywhere from the Pacific Ocean to the Red Sea. In the waters around the Galapagos Islands a hungry sea lion appears to swim through a tunnel of fish as it searches for supper. Elsewhere, in the sea off Maui, a green turtle swims just beneath the surface as an oblivious paddle boarder passes above and a Stout Moray flashes its terrifying teeth. David lives on Maui with his wife Denise and son Sean and has been in Hawaii for over eighteen years.

This moray eel is as big as my thigh. Some diver in Red Sea can hug this kind of animal, but in Bali, I don't think so. It has not-so-friendly looking.

Whiskered Tern (Chlidonias hybrida javanicus), Yala National Park, Sri Lanka
The whiskered tern (Chlidonias hybrida) is a seabird of the tern family Sternidae. This bird has a number of geographical races, differing mainly in size and minor plumage details.
C. h. hybrida breeds in warmer parts of Europe and Asia. The smaller-billed and darker C. h. delalandii is found in east and south Africa, and the paler C. h. javanicus from Java to Australia.
The tropical forms are resident, but European and Asian birds winter south to Africa and the Indian Subcontinent.

Male and female. I keep female more than 4 years since the fall of 2010, the male received spring 2014. Male is smaller. Feeding frogs (Rana temporaria).

I am not certain on the cleaner species so if anyone can offer an alternative id or confirm, that would be great.

Murena gigante (Gymnothorax javanicus) e Pesce pagliaccio (Amphiprion bicinctus)
(- 6 m. - Sharm el Sheikh - Egitto, Mar Rosso, Beach Amphoras, 04/05/2010)
As our boat changed direction, I managed to spot this isolated Lesser Adjutant. Yes, isolated, just like the bird's usual characteristic. The lesser adjutant stalks around wetlands feeding mainly on fish, frogs, reptiles and large invertebrates. They rarely feed on carrion. They may also take small birds and rodents particularly during the breeding season. They are solitary except during the breeding season when they form loose colonies. The breeding season is February to May in southern India and November to January in north-eastern India. The nest is a large platform of sticks placed on a tall tree.(Prek Toal Bird Sanctuary, Siem Reap, Cambodia, Apr. 2014)
Now doesn't he look rather formidable? This is the Moran Eel. Moray Eels or Muraenidae are a family of cosmopolitan eels. The approximately 200 species in 15 genera are almost exclusively marine, but several species are regularly seen in brackish water, and a few, for example the freshwater moray (Gymnothorax polyuranodon), can sometimes be found in fresh water. The smallest moray is likely Snyder's moray (Anarchias leucurus), which attains a maximum length of 4.5", while the longest species, the slender Giant Moray (Strophidon Sathete) reaches up to 13 ft. The largest in terms of total mass is the Giant Moray (Gymnothorax javanicus), which reaches 9.8 ft in length and can weigh up to 30 kg. (Emirates Park Zoo, Samha, Abu Dhabi, Jan. 2015)
