My LFS got this unordered fish in today. No idea what it is. It's about 4 1/2 " long.

Looks more like a type of hogfish to me. Not sure which type though. I haven’t seen that one before.

You think? Maybe to color is off from stress, but the eye shape looks off to me as well. Might just be the angle of the pics I guess.
