bjpell and I came upon a freaky fish that was doing a good job of hiding itself under coral (i.e. not moving, refused to spook), and we're wondering just what it is called. (A few of my pier-fishing friends apparently called it a File or Tile fish, as that is what they have learned them as, but all the pictures (I have been able to find) of both don't seem correct). To bjpell's credit, he's the one who found this reclusive critter:

And, hey, if you're good at this, Ben might know what these are, but I would appreciate ID's on:

Sorry guys - I'm new to ID'ing.
Edit: I'm sure a locale will help - these shots were taken off of the second reef out just north of Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Thanks!
