THANKS!
You're welcome. They usually are not quite that blue, but there's a large variety in coloration, I've seen some with almost no yellow at all.

It was fairly large actually (to me) I would say it was about a foot long and NOT afraid at all!

I did a quick google image search and found a few samples to back your guess and Walter's coloration variations.

Well thank you all, it was making me a little nuts in Roatan when i was scrolling through all the lovely shots. I could identify most of what we saw but this one... it didnt match the pictures on my fishy card! I am one of those "document everything you saw in your dive log" people. maybe it is because i am new to diving...
