These are small, elongated fish that live in old tube worm holes in reef structures. Often, we only see a head poking out. Patient observation can result in seeing them dart out of their holes to feed on plankton that zips by. They are very abundant, but easy to overlook, because of their size (several species are less than 1 inch long).
However, stopping to look at their tiny faces is rewarding. If you look closely, the bottom photo contains a darkheaded blenny in the foreground, and a 2nd blenny in the background.
The rest of the photos are probably secretary blennies. The top photo also has a second blenny in the background.
