Default fish seen while diving. ID?

took these photo while diving. I want to catch it and put it in my tank.

What are they? The yellow/blue one is little, say 1" to 3", while the angel type fish was about 6"-8"

Here's another shot of that big one. These were taken 23 miles off the coast of Georgia in 65' of water.

Yes, the first blue and yellow is a Damsel. When they become an adult they are brown and are very boring. My husband dives in the Gulf of Mexico and brought some home for me. They are very aggressive. The second is an Angel. Might be a Queen?? They grow to be very large so will need a really big tank. Check to see what you local rules are for harvesting saltwater fish and other creatures so that you don't get in BIG trouble. I know of a friend who got caught for taking live rock and went to the pokey for a while and had huge fines to pay. Your other post looked like a baby permit or jack. They grow huge as well.

Good Luck. Happy Diving and Reefing. Noel
