This guy is a Rock Beauty.
Not a bad looking fish.... but perhaps a little over-named when they threw in the beauty part.
They are known to establish and patrol defined territories on the reef. But they are both shy and curious.
They will always retreat when approached by a diver but often turn to observe the diver when they are what they feel is a safe distance away.
As you can imagine this retreating behavior most often takes them out of camera range.... so they have for quite some time been on my "wish I could get a good pixture" list.
