#4 is an Ocean Triggerfish!

#2 is an Atlantic Spiny Oyster!

#3 is a type of Soft Coral.....

The Octo is a two spot!

looks like a diamond blenny, but only 50% on that one so far!

What really helps people to id critters is if you say how deep it was where you discovered this, day dive or night dive - narrow it down a bit.

#2 is an Atlantic Spiny Oyster!

Who would'a thunk?

#4 best guess is an orange filefish.
#5 is so similar to a saddle blenny that I believe it's in the Labrisomid blenny family. Markings almost fit except that the saddles aren't distinct on yours and that light band at the base of the tail isn't a saddle-blenny characteristic. Very nice photo.
Please let us know if you find authoritative answers.
