Anyone know what these are?

Apologies for the pic quality, the first fish was moving too quick so I aimed ahead and missed the tail though it's not a very significat tail, it just tapers away to the end of the body.
And I only got one attempt at the second fish before it bobbled it's way under the coral

Thanks
 
Very unsure about this, but the first one is probably some kind of wrasse (Labridae), possibly a Redstripe hogfish Bodianus opercularis, although that particular fish should have a small black spot above the pectoral fin.

The second one is probably a Radial filefish Acreichthys radiatus.
