2. You found a napping Parrotfish. It's camouflaging itself to hide from predators and, more importantly, to drive fish-watchers crazy. Positive ID from this view is probably impossible, but if I had to guess I would say Redband Parrotfish.
Agree with 1 and 3. And, agree with Louis on 2 that it is a parrot fish in resting camouflage and hard to ID beyond that. I was just wondering if it may be Bucktooth due to Habitat and Behaviour and the fact that this guy looks small based on the size of those feather duster worms.
Fish ID
1. Yellowtail Snapper. Looks like a big one.

3. Looks like a juvenile Stoplight Parrotfish.
