Fish caught at the destin, FL jetties

Can anyone ID these fish?

They are both very small. Only about an inch

Don't know but they sure are pretty. Did you dive for them?

The one on the left is most definitely a tang... Possibly a variation of mimic tang or bristle tooth tang

+1 for a type of bristletooth tang!
And I have seen the one on the right before just can't remember where or what It was called!

Acanthurus bahianus (ocean surgeonfish) and Chaetodon ocellatus (spotfin butterflyfish).

BTW Kalin0121, you had posted these images in another thread, which I had also responded to. In the other thread you had included an image of an "angelfish", which I identified as a damselfish of the genus Stegastes. Just checking to make sure that you had received notification of the responses to the other thread.
