juvenile princess parrotfish ? (Scarus taeniopterus)
 
Looks like a juvenile princess parrotfish. But I'm no expert. Maybe someone else can confirm.
 
Looks like a Queen parrotfish juvenile to me (Scarus vetula). The Queen and the Princess are very similar at this stage but the Princess parrotfish will always have dark edges on the caudal/tail fin and this individual doesn’t have them.

I don't know - a juvenile taeniopterus shown here: Shorefishes - Gallery doesn't seem to have a dark edge on its caudal.
Looks like a toin coss to me.
