Hawaiian Hogfish are members of the Wrasse family and endemic to Hawaii, though they get their name from a Caribbean relative with a snout like a pig! This fish is a female and probably a younger one, since adult fish tend to live in deeper water.
The name might not be complimentary, but I think the fish is striking, especially in good light.

Such lovely creatures live in your waters, Graham xx

Yes, the look doesn’t match the name in this case.
