This is a Titan Triggerfish at a cleaning station in a rocky cave. They go there and hover whilst the little cleaner shrimp that you can see in the picture pick off all the parasites and debris on the fish. Titans are strange fish - fiercely protective around their nest and often attack divers if you go near the nest, but very skittish otherwise. I got fairly close to 2 on this trip but still nowhere near as I could get to the creatures.
Tried going with one strobe a lot stronger than the other for a more dramatic effect here
