oooo i think i got it but im not 100% is it a clown trigger? I have a feeling i might be wrong lol
 
That is the one, Balistoides conspicillum, the clown trigger, I haven't seen many for sale but I have been told they are both pricey and nasty tankmates with most other fish. Beautiful fish though.

My guess is goosefish (Lophius americanus) and if I'm right I have seen none for sale except as frozen food except through you, If not a goose fish maybe an oystertoad fish.
 
Here is something odd, a cool water western hemisphere fish

The lower one is an unusual colorphase, anyone? I'll settle for a family name.
 
No guesses at all? It reaches 18" long but is usually smaller and is found in tide pools and under rocks from San Diego to Anchorage on the Pacific coast and is a great fish for an unheated salt tank as it will tolerate lousy water over a wide salinity and eats anything small enough, it can survive in a pile of damp sunwarmed seaweed above the tideline for hours.
