Roundface Batfish

Big round fish, often around wrecks aor other structure. Dark blotch behind pectoral fins. Long yellow fins. Difficult to tell apart from Round Batfish, Platax orbicularis. Sometimes comes in a fairly large family group. Juveniles have longer dorsal and pectoral fins and undergo quite a bit of colour change. When I saw them the juveniles were more inquisitive than the adults.
