I was wondering what species of fish this was. It was large and in shallow water, not too afraid of humans.

Rockweed Gunnel (Apodichthys fucorum)Observer
sandor_inDescription
A. fucorum or A. flavidus are the two green ones that come up in the area. Didn't get good photos, just the tail of this one. They flip around so much and then it disappeared among the eel grass.
There was a larger red one under the same rock:

We were driving along 17 Mile Drive, when I spotted this along the beach. I have no idea what species of shark it could be, so I am posting the pictures here in hopes of learning it’s identity.

Saw this shark’s carcass on the beach - the fins had been cut off and the eyes were missing. Managed to take some still images from the video to get more detail of it.
