Yellow finned Cubanfish

Pic 2: Black and white striped Cubanminifish

I prefer the first one, grilled with chunky chips

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.
