Those are killer. I'd try and find a way to schelac/varnish them and then frame them.
Sorry I can't help om the ID, sort of looks like a Phirana.

DT,
I don't know what those blue ones are, but that top round one is the not so rare Copperus Lincolna ubiquitous....they tend to congregate at
the bottom of fountains and water features in malls around the world.
A good find How did those blue ones taste? 
Don't believe everything you think....

Those big eyes might suggest deep water,how one so small washes up on the beach without being eaten hmm?
must not taste so good maybe?

Anyone can catch fish in a boat but only \"El Pescador Grande\" can get them from the beach.
I hope when my time comes the old man will let me bring my rod and the water will be warm and clear.

I think they are fused glass earrings. I used to be a glass artist and jewelery was a bread & butter item.

I think it is a juvinile Pacific Spadefish. My kid's would see them near shore in six inches of water in BOLA

That is a really great find.
Not many people ever see them. Even the aquariums can't keep them alive. Most of us will only see pictures of them and accept their existence.
You are one lucky guy.

Tehag is correct! - sometimes they vertically migrate at night - perhaps caoght in a storm and washed ashore - preserve in 50% isopropyl alcohol
(rubbing alcohol) - very cool find. Were there only 2?

GREAT EARRINGS! Used to have dried blowfish earrings, blown up with those crazy shaky eyes glued on-quite a conversation piece

Those are definitely hatchetfish. If you look along the botttom/belly, you'll see specialized cells called photophores. These cells can produce
bioluminescent light. What is even more interesting is that the Hatchetfish can actually control the intensity of the light that is emitted from these
cells and have been shown to actually mimic the changes in light levels reaching the deep sea as the sun moves across the horizon from morning to
afternoon. This ability to mask themselves in the ambient light acts as a customizable form of camoflauge to mask their silouette from the eyes of
underlying predators.
