Two varieties for Identification

[Warren_L]

I've got a couple if anyone knows these guys. Both shots were taken in the northern part of the Red Sea last week near Hurghada.

This guy was shot on a shallow reef on a night dive, depth about 10m.

These guys I believe are butterflies, but I am unable to identify the specific variety. This was taken on a shallow reef during the day, depth around 10m.

first one looks like some kind of cuskeel/brotula

First one is a striped catfish, Plotosus lineatus. For the second I would look at bluecheek butterflyfish, Chaetodon semilarvatus - often called the masked butterfyfish. My caution is because the body lines look a bit more irregular than I have seen before; it may be a Red Sea variation.

Awesome, thanks guys, I'll check it out.
