Saddletail Seaperch. White edging on tail etc give it away. The actual dark "saddle" on the wrist of the tail is not very defined up here.

Thats what I reckon anyway........... Chanos

Chanos is right, Helen Larsen says it is a saddletail perch

Good to hear that we got the species sorted out... I'll always be confused though. My book says a Crimson Sea Perch is also known as a Saddle Tail but the picture illustrating the saddle tail is significantly different. The same book also says a saddle tail is known a scarlet sea perch

Oh well, they're all some kind of red perch that's for sure!
