Looks like Priacanthus blochii - Bloch's Bigeye. Lots of photos will vary because this fish adopts all sorts of colour patterns. The end of the tail looks straight but it is a slightly difficult angle to be certain. If it curves inwards, the ID will be Priacanthus hamrur, the Crescent-tail Bigeye
 
Thanks so much Jim---ya'll guys are good......lol, I just knew it wasn't something as simple as a squirrelfish......thanks again.....
