Looks like a Bermuda Chub (Kyphosus sectatrix). It's found in the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, Western Atlantic and the East Coast of USA.

Where did you take the photo?

Jeez John_Brandt! You missed the welcome beat!
I have no idea what it is, but I swear Ive seen something almost identical to that very fish at the Monterey Bay Aquarium (I live kinda close to it, but yet I still dont get over there as often as Id like to!)... Good luck on it!

Sorry, didn't mention I took this picture at Hanama Bay in Hawaii.

Fine, have it your way

It's a Gray Chub (Kyphosus bigibbus).

I could have swonr I had seen that fish before. If you feed them (when it was legal) They wont leave you alone

It looks a lot like a baitfish that I used back on the east coast, we called it bunker

Definitely not! I use them for research and they are not tropical anyway.

johnp - Were you visiting Hawaii? What did you think of Haunama? (I will be there in November and trying to decide on where to go) Anyplace I shouldn't miss?
