I always identify and title fish in my videos that I then send out to the participating divers and friends. I can't identify this fish. I initially thought it was a juvenile parrotfish or Slippery Dick, but it's mouth is too long\big. Location is Key Largo, FL. Key Largo - Unidentified.jpg
 
Looks like a Puddingwife.

Yeah, you're both right. What fooled me initially, was it looked like the mouth was substantially longer than what a wrasse or Puddingwife would have (which is pretty small). I then realized that the mouth line is melding with some other line in the video/photo and the mouth is small.

Thanks for your reply.
