What do you think? T. Maxima, right? Not T. Noae because it doesn't have the teardrop pattern and the eyes are on the edges mostly? Or T. Squamosa?

The photos were taken on the west side of Taveuni Island in Fiji at Waitabu Marine Park on the furthest east out "plateau" part of the reefs in the middle of the plateau.

Yes, this is what I am coming to in my conclusions too, because it lacks the teardrops of Noae / Ningaloo (whatever you wanna call it)...
