Anyone know what kind of parrot fish this is? I can’t seem to find anything online.

Whilst it’s possibly a parrot, I’d say it’s got more of a hogfish appearance

From Indo. It has the parrot beak.

Scarus quoyi?
It’s the only one I can find with the diagonal and roughly right colors

I thought that too but tail is different

 

[scchase]

That red tail is distinct but not finding much so far

Sparisoma cretense?

Sparisoma cretense?

That comes really close! But I didn’t see any with green on them. Front half of the body from the pics looked grayish silver.

It’s Mediterranean anyway. Issue is parrotfish have multiple life stages with different colors and patterns

Yeah, I just saw the location. They said it came from deeper waters if that helps around Indo.

We’ll see if @ISpeakForTheSeas has to say

You’re right! I was able to get a better picture from the side and close above the mouth, definitely some type of hog fish.

Sorry, yes tusk. Had hog on my mind because one of the pics was a hog

Choerodon zamboangae

Choerodon zamboangae

Thank you! Are the males different colors? Or do they come in different colors? I see one that’s nearly all yellow/orange with that red bar and then the one I posted a picture of with the front half being green.

 

[scchase]

Yep that side picture was key

That’s one stunning hog!
