Wild caught fish? HELP

[Lshann14]

I caught some fish while I was diving and I'm not sure what they were. I was in Florida. They are blue with yellow bellies and have light blue spots on them all over.
I was thinking yellow belly damsel but they just don't look the same from the pics I can find
Any help would be nice
Thanks

I believe the first is a beaugregory, Beaugregory - Stegastes leucostictus - Damselfishes - - Caribbean Reefs

Second could possibly be a slippery dick Wrasse, Slippery Dick Reekfish | roughfish.com

you got the fish with the best names! haha

Any idea how worthy they are?

The damsels are about $5-$8 each. Couldn't find current prices on the wrasse though.

Right on, value wise none.

The Halichoeres identification is probably okay, though I couldn't find any mention of the dorsal-fin spots in literature I had on hand. The damselfish is probably correct too, but there are a couple of other Florida Stegastes with very similar juvenile coloration: Longfin Damsel (S. diencaeus) and Cocoa Damsel (S. variabilis).
