Pic Contest: Name these fish

[anderson's]

I took these two pictures at a local aquarium. I have no idea what they are, but they are way cool. Maybe someone can provide some help. Sorry the one is not too clear.

[kindbuds2k]

they both look like anglers to me.

 

[dogstar]

I agree with Nate, maybe

The second one is definitly not a porcupine puffer. Look at the mouth and eyes. I have the name of it on the tip of my tongue.... sigh can't remember. anyway its a kind of frogfish. Very cool pics, you saw these at a public aquarium or a store?

 

[feixjai]

frogfish for sure. had one before, until my heater exploded and temps went to 90 degrees F

Also known as a Rock Fish. Somebody here has one (or two) in his home tank, I forget who.

You guys are awsome. The prize is.............feeling superior in SW knowledge!!! I saw it at a public aquarium. I think I really want one, now that I know the names I am going to do a little research and see what it takes to get one. If someone on here has either already in their tank, or knows anything about...let me know.
Thanks again.

I can do better.
First one is a Pictus Angler and the second one is a Striated Angler.
