A few quick flip throughs the "Reef Fish ID Topical Pacific" didn't help me spot the fish.

I shot a few mangos today. But I don't think Mangrove Snapper are in Indonesia. Could be wrong though.

That comes as no surprise. I only mentioned them because they are incredibly numerous on the East Coast and belong to the same Genus. Lutjanus would make an excellent name for a snappy dog.

They were shot with H3+B at wide-angle so look smaller even when at moderate distance. will upload the short video clip overnight.

Looks like a darktail snapper but the pectoral fins and tails are not mentioned black in the book. These were also not shiny just an opaque whitish ... the tails are also V shaped or forked here but in the book its more flat... The size description matches though about 1-2ft. But these appeared less slender and more ovalish although not like ovalfishes - the sloping heads match though.
The key variance is that for a darktail - the pectoral ventral and anal fins match the body color - here it is a contrasting black.

Looks like some kind of snapper or emperor fish to me? But its not in the book...

Edit: Wait - a school of humpback snapper that is pure gray?

Ok here is the video
