Yellow finned Cubanfish

Pic 2: Black and white striped Cubanminifish

I prefer the first one, grilled with chunky chips

Striped Dottyback (Sankeys Dottyback) maybe...the second one?

1) Schoolmaster snapper

2). some kind of Goby or blenny. Perhaps an engineer goby.

cheers guys.

I reckon @crispy gets the prize for '1' with 'Schoolmaster snapper' & @whattrwuyertwuyrt is correct with 'Striped Dottyback'

I reckon a sharpnose goby - Elacatinus evelynae, as the Striped Dottyback is a Red Sea fish.
