Hi,
Just back from Grand Cayman and trying to ID all the pictures.
At first I thought this might be a yellowhead jawfish based on seeing a few other fish in the area poking their heads out of burrows in the sand,

but I can't decide if they are really sand tilefish instead.

This one, and a couple more were swimming around just above the sand (at ~40 feet).
