Took the pictures, need to know the names (though wrasses and characins seem to predominate, with the last probably some kind of soldierfish...) Can anyone help?

I think this one is a twin spot coris wrasse, they have several color morphs but I am almost certain this is a juvenile Coris aygula, marine, indo pacific.
