    well good luck. I thinks its a baby grouper but my girlfriend thinks its a hawkfish. Either way, its been a great fish since we got it a month ago.

    Looks like a juvenile Bodianus axillaris a bit, but I almost want to say a bass of some sort.

    definitely not a Bodianus axillaris. it also sits on the rocks a lot like a hawk. the mouth looks like a grouper but then again so does our bandit hawk.
