pic01 -- A pair of Ornate Butterflyfish. I have read that they mate for life. This pair seemed to dance and fly together in formation. They're lovely.

pic02 -- A Bullethead Parrotfish. The colors of this fish are dazzling. The picture really doesn't do it justice. And their feeding behavior is wild too--they bite off chunks of live coral and grind it to powder with bony plates in their throat, absorb the organic material and expel the rest, including the newly made sand. You can hear them chomping and grinding away. It's a pretty big fish too, probably 18 inches long.
