pic one looks like a perch family, and the blue strip with black looks like a neon goby

2nd pic is a surgeon, maybe a
Thompson's Surgeonfish (Acanthurus thompsoni)
or bristletooth variant
hard to tell from pic

the 1st one is a juvenile Cape Moony - Monodactylus falciformis
I want a few of them for my tank but seems that I'm never gonna get time to collect again...

 

[butcherman]

thanks man, but i sit in cape town, also known as the land of the permanent winter.
I actually miss the collecting more than actually having the fish.
Keep posting what you find.

Acanthurus blockii

I would say either that or it could be a Acanthurus dussumieri
because it has a yellow tail as a juvenile, not white like A. blockii...

But A. dussumieri also has a light blue stripe on it's keel, unlike this specimen.
