Fish Id's please.

Grimreaperz · Oct 1, 2017

I am taking care of a tank for an older lady as her husband is no longer able to do so and she has some fish I haven't seen before and was wanting some assistance on ID so I can provide the best care possible....the one I know is a tang just not sure what kinds maybe Brown? It's in rough shape....one is a purple yellow wrasse I'm pretty sure but the others in not sure. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Here are pics

Fish #1: tiny yellow guy...
Fish #2: decent sized white head black body
Fish #3: rough looking tang of sorts (any advice on getting this guy back to health would be appreciated)
Fish #4: Purple Yellow Wrasse?

TIA.

#1 yellow clown goby, fun little dudes
#2 juvenile half and half wrasse, I'm seeing reports of adult size being 20+
#3 possibly a scoped tang or one of the Ctenochaetus family, would need a better picture to tell.
#4 still working one this one.
What is the diet like for these fish? That will go a long way for their health, especially the tang. Offer him lots of nori if it's not available currently.

#4 is a type of Anthia

Any idea on the type of anthia?

The diet of the fish has definitely not been the best and I plan on changing that.

Thanks so much for the help so far!!

Fin structure of fish #4 is more wrasse-like than anthia-like.

My ID is the two-toned wrasse (Halichoeres prosopeion):
