I think I may have ID'd the fish as a Sunrise Basslet (Liopropoma aurora)

Looks like it:
LUTJANIDAE (SNAPPERS)
Pristipomoides auricilla (Jordan, Evermann & Tanaka)
(Yellowtail Kalikali)
SL: to 37 cm (41 cm FL) (photo: 27.9 cm SL, Guam)
The Yellowtail Kalikali is the most frequently caught snapper when bottomfishing Guam's deep ledges and offshore banks. It has been taken in the depth range at 90 to 360 m but is most abundant from 181 to 270 m. It feeds primarily on fishes and pelagic tunicates. (See also p. 57, A)
INDO-PACIFIC: W. Indian Ocean to Hawaii, n. to a. Japan, s. to New Caledonia.

Someone sent us this fish picture and asked to identify, they thought it was wahanui, but I think we seen this one before. We've seen it a lot in the Mariana islands. Does anyone know what species of fish this is?

From Bruce Mundy, PIFSC: shortfin ariomma, Ariomma brevimanus.
the appearance of finlets is an illusion from the incised membranes of the soft-rayed portions of the dorsal and anal fins (perhaps even damaged membranes) together with the fins being folded down. Otherwise, it looks like a perfect match with /A. brevimanus/ (e.g., the photo on page of 452 of Jack's Reef and Shore Fishes of the Hawaiian Islands).

Spotted Unicornfish, Naso maculatus. You kind find it on page 438 of John Randall's "Reef and Shore Fishes of Hawaii."

I got this email from a guy on Maui. He says he caught it in 140 fathoms. Looks like a paka, but the colors of an ehu. Could it be a hybrid? Or just a color morph of a paka?
