Blackfish's post in Saddleback Syndrome? (Lordosis) was marked as the answer
Ok, Ive asked the boffins down in the lab and they say
Quote "Its called "Lordosis" and basically a forward (Downward in fish) curvature of the spine. Morwong, Drummer, bream etc have all been caught in this condition.The spline and Ptergiophores (Bones at the base of the dorsal fin) are intact and fully formed"
I had to ask as I'm not that clever but did know in most cases not a injury.
Thanks Boffins.

Blackfish's post in ID required on these two fish please.(Fan Belly Leatherjacket and Spangled Emperor,Juvenile) was marked as the answer
First one is a Fanbelly Leatherjacket. Monacanthus chinensis.
And the Second is a Juvenile Spangled Emperor. Lethrinus nebulous.
My reason for the Emperor is you can see the blue spots starting to appear on the side where Grassys I believe don't have them.
Thats my guess.
