Just wanted to give you a heads up. Not at all graphic, just dead fish, but I figured someone would object. I saw these at a fish market and have always been wondering their species. Much thanks to the individual that can give me a hand in identifying them!

(If anyone can read Chinese, the name is in the second picture.)

Thanks, the mouth structure pointed me in that direction, but the color seemed different that images I had seen. (Color patterns- because I know color washes out after fish die.) I may need to pick up one to mount the skull- make their teeth prominent.

Ive seen these on the TV they can munch up corals with their teeth.

Yep, Planet Earth or Blue Planet. The BBS series- better with David Attenborough than with the American narrator.
 
Very cool fish.. would be cooler in live form..
 
Looks like stoplight parrotfish, Sparisoma viride.
