Does anyone know what fish this is? It was found about 50 feet deep in Cozumel at the base of a sponge near a coral banded shrimp. It was rather shy preferring to hide in the recesses.

From the line on the forehead going through the lips it looks like it could be a graysby juvenile.
 
Thank you for your help!
 
I think juv graysby too but would like a look at the tail.

Any options other than a graysby juvenile?

The line is fairly distinctive and obvious in the picture. What other fish has this marking?

Sorry, this is the only photo I have and it did not come out of this hole while I was around.
 
A more rounded tail would be confirmation. I say juvenile graysby.
