I don't have a great picture of this one, but I've seen a few of them snorkeling in Kawai. From the jaw down to the snout is like a 40° angle, which is the coolest thing. the angle doesn't really show on the picture, but it's quite geometric.

I think the first one is some type of smooth flutemouth or needlefish. Second one is the yellow tang. (Zebrasoma flavescens)

Seen them too in Maui! The first one I believe is pacific trumpetfish :) The second one I'd guess bluespotted cornetfish.
