Among a mixed bag of small fish we got two of these. Surely common but we don’t know what it is

It's a parrot fish. Type of Wrasse

Notolabrus tetricus. Female version of the Blue Throat Wrasse.

They're hermaphrodites. Once you pluck the male out of a colony the dominant female will change to a male

Great gummy shark bait.

Parrotfish/wrasse like the others said. Fish is a fish, better than donut.

Thanks everybody!

You learn something every day: A hermaphrodite is better than a donut.
