We went on a great 14 day cruise and had many snorkeling excursions. I for the life of me am drawing a blank on these 2 fish. Help please.

Perfect, thanks guys. Those certainly look like them... It was driving me nuts the entire trip that I could not recall the names.
 
The top picture is some sort of butterfly fish and the bottom picture I think is Microspathodon chrysurus (jewel damselfish)

He hit the nail on the head!

The Butterfly is not reef safe, and both including the little jewelfish can grow to good size.

Regardless of size, they have one junk-yard dog type attitude about their turf! When diving, they will aggressively approach you to move on your way.

Sincerely,

David
