I actually meant it might probably be some Orthopristis sp. as naturally not all of them are found just near the Galapagos islands, since O.forbesi looks closer to the fish in the photos than those mentioned, to me. If I come across the exact match, I'll inform you about that.
In fact, the additional pictures don't make it much clearer, too. Neither white grunt, grey grunt or white margate look this way. Probably Orthopristis sp. (O. forbesi or smth.) might be closer to it, but I can't call it the exact match, either. One imagines that we know only some 3-5 % data about the world ocean, like they say, and that's alright.
The fish at the sandy bottom, not the Horse-Eye Jacks.

Posted by @Ziggyso a fish that's endemic to the Galápagos in the Pacific is maybe thriving in my reef here in PR. That would be cool. ;)
