Soldierfish
After watching and waiting and comparing the closest one I can get is a red soldierfish

we were wondering what they were also, as they look lovely, must go back on, saw 4 divers the other day, and sharks, so soothing watching the fish. Old fart hasn't got a book on the fish north of Carnarvan, might just be a good pressie for Xmas.
