Yellowtail Coris

Logan, I take that back: you were right, it is a wrasse! Just a much larger wrasse than I am accustomed to seeing. ID'd as Coris gaimard (or Coris gaimardi?) on the website you mentioned, as well as on Wikipedia. http://www.marinelifephotography.com/fishes/wrasses/coris-gaimard.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wrasse Thank you very much!

Actually, this one was much bigger, perhaps about a foot in length! (Do note that I am consulting a memory more than five years old, so that is very approximate.) At the time, I recall thinking that it must be a type of parrotfish. Here is a picture from somebody else that I found online. It must be the same species: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lahaina-divers-lahaina?select=7-vsgryNsWx8cRBb8w8U1A#7-vsgryNsWx8cRBb8w8U1A
