Who can identify this for me?

Took it off Molokini Crater, Hawaii.

Thanks!

Why do they call it orange spot shoulder?

 

[M_Bipartitus]

I meant spot or sholder. I've seen it as Orange Spot, Orange Shoulder and Orange Band.

What a weird name for a fish that looks like that.

Orangeband Surgeonfish na’ena’e
This large surgeonfish always has a short orange band ringed in blue on its shoulder. It can change color rapidly from light olive to completely dark….Juveniles, which are bright yellow without an orange band, might be confused with the Yellow Tang. Species name means “olive color”.

Someone thinks they do. My other three sources do not mention a shoulder. Fishes of Hawaii does say the Hawaiian name is na'e-na'e.

I'm sure you all want to know.
