looks bit like an eight bar grouper, that escaped from prison :-) lost its stripes.

No white tips
But it doesn't have the white tips to the fins and tail Andy. Well done on your Gnaraloo trip by the way.
Piggy - the tail looks very small for a fish that size or is it just the camera angle?

They can be brown like that. Not always have yellow flecks
