Caught these while in Karratha in 50meters of water. Not sure if they are good eating.
I put em back anyway.
Anyone know what they are?

Seapearch
I think the top one is a juvenile Indonesian Seaperch, definately a seaperch of some variety. Likely to be undersize (30cm) = Stripey Sea Perch (spanish flag) = 30cm legal limit.
Bottom is a Tomato Rockcod

Top one is what we call a
Top one is what we call a Hussar in Qld. Apparently good eating, though we usually use them for bait.
I'd call the second one a Coral Cod. The fish we call a tomato cod has a more snub nose on it. Very tasty.
