The left one is definitely a Lane Snapper.
The right one looks like a Grunt of some type.

It doesn't look like a Blue Striped Grunt. But, I could be wrong. I'll look in my Fish ID book when I get home.

The fish on the right is a Sand Perch. I've only seen them off Venice Beach. It's a member of the Sea Bass family.

it was actually was collected in miami beach.... so they might be uncommon here i am not sure...DennisW:
I didn’t think the eye or tail looked right for sand perch and thought young blue-striped grunt. But the bars certainly look like the sand perch, so DennisW is probably right. I bow to his superior identification skills.
