Which species is this?

[tridacna]

You mean anglerfish or sturgeon fish?

Angel not Angle or Angler. Probably none of those. Surgeon not Sturgeon. Not that either.

Based on this one, I would say it is a parrotfish almost for sure. Definitely not a surgeon fish and I doubt that an angel fish.

Angler fish? what about a sperm whale ha? My final guess would be a variant of the

EMPEROR FISH.....

You wrote angle... I found it odd hence the question.

The snout is very different from the one of an emperor (for example, the position of the mouth).

You mean this guy, in the lower left corner?

Is this the same guy, from your first pix?

The top one is definitely a parrotfish, the lips are the giveaway.
They do not appear to be the same fish species in the two pix; look at the pectoral fins.

Do you have any idea of which species it may belong to?

They are the same fish, the pectoral fins are just in different positions and the second picture is even worse than the first.

I went to review time stamps and it is possible (time wise) that they are actually two different species.

I still believe that they are the same though. Which difference did you notice in the pectoral fins?

According to the majority of marine scientists of Wavelength, the top one is a bridled parrotfish (Scarus frenatus) and the one in the other two pictures is a parrotfish (possibly from the same species but they can't tell due to the low quality of the photo).

Thanks everyone for your help.

I thought that the second might be a unicornfish, no horn but the first photo, definitely a parrot of some sort.
