I just got back from Hawaii, edited and posted a video, and I'm trying to id fish. I can't seem to figure out this one that I recorded in Honolua Bay, Maui. I think it's about 8" long and may be some type of wrasse. But it's not on any of my fish guides. I've included several stills from the video to help. Note the white stripe on the blueish head, blue pectorals, and black spot on a yellowish tail. It was turning away from me from its hiding place under a ledge. Could you please id this critter? Thanks!
