Not entirely convinced. Coloring still all wrong and mine looks heavier/thicker than your suggestion. Thank you for bringing this one back up for me to ponder!

definitely not Chlorurus, it's a Scarus - my best guess is S. psittacus - given away by dark purple blush on saddle over the snout

I don't know. The body is right, but the coloring is not. Thansk for the suggestion, I'm sure its chlorurus sp.
