Tell me about it. I was stuck on this Melanura wrasse. Just can't find a match. My buddy has been on his pc for hours to find it. No luck! Tough one

Thanks for your help. No wonder I couldn't find a match!
 
It's a male Cetoscarus bicolor. The juveniles are often offered for sale, but it is one of the larger parrotfish species (reaching nearly 3 feet long).
 
Bicolor Parrotfish Cetoscarus bicolor
Bicolor parrotfish sleep in slimy bubbles. Before going to sleep in a reef hole, this parrotfish spins a cocoon around its body. The slimy bubble hides the fish’s scent. This protects the parrotfish from nighttime predators like moray eels, which hunt by their sense of smell.
