Esat,

Since the shots were probably taken somewhere around Cyprus in the Med
I'd call it the Red Sea version of the Titan Triggerfish. Fairly deep
though at 42 metres. Seems to me that these usually prefer shallower water.

As for the pic to the right where Manos seems to think that the fish
might have been chomped on, its probably a whole fish in the act of
turning. That much damage would surely otherwise see the animal dead.

Uhhh, Strike, as a person who has been rather intimately acquainted
with these in the past, what say you? :^)
