1) the second one was of differnet color when it was caught .. But changed color after death.. Can you please re- check it and know me the exact name and information.

2) also for batfish is it eadible.. If yes, then how to clean its tough skin..

[Peace]

I'm not familiar with surgeonfishes, so I can't provide anymore info that you can find on the Internet. The batfish is edible but not commonly sold or favoured locally. Not sure how would one treat a tough skin, but I suppose if you don't like it may be you can just remove it after cooking.

U mean cook batfish by grilling it or frying it.. And how you came up with seeing that the other one was surgeon fish

[Peace]

Both ways of cooking will probably do but I think frying might do a better job at it. Regarding the other fish, I just thought it looked similar to that blue colour fish from 'finding nemo' and I just search from there. The profile does look like surgeonfish but I could be wrong.
