What is this?

Can someone ID this for me? A family member has been able to identify all the fish for me except this one. Thanks!

Yep, Nice photo. It can be difficult to get close enough for a good shot.

They don't like to sit still for very long, do they?

I highly recommend the Paul Humann/Ned Deloach Reef Fish Identification book. I also have the Reef Creature and Reef Coral books. They are great books to refer to when you're done with a dive! You can buy them on Amazon for around $25.
