Pearly Razorfish or Cleaver Wrasse – Xyrichtys novacula
I was playing with conditions using light ring instead of the regular strobe and some came out very dark. These fishes can be curious and follow you around to see what you do, I guess because they also follow other fishes to see what they catch from the sand.
