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.

A cheerful-looking Saddle Wrasse swims over a patch of coral. One side of the coral head has long since died, but the other looks quite healthy and hosts an Arc-eye Hawkfish.

Great Barracudas were a fish that really gave me the willies, more-so than sharks. But I’ve got used to them over the years and, while they still look mean and grouchy, I’ve found their actions are less threatening, not that I’m taking any liberties!
Yesterday, I saw the fish in the top photo heading straight towards me, before veering away at the last moment. Just checking me out I think. That one was in the two- to three-foot range. The one below was bigger, three- to four-foot, and it was getting cleaned. I always find this sight amusing as this giant fish hangs still in the water while little Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasses nibble away at parasites and mucus on the body and even inside the mouth!
