That may be a Humphead Wrasse (see wikipedia for another photo).

I’m a chemist/hobbyist programmer not marine biologist but I remember seeing something like this at an aquarium. It was a wrasse, so I looked that up and found this one:

Some sort of Lantern’s Fish perhaps?

In South Africa we call that a Red Stumpnose, assuming the orangey/yellow stripes were actually bright red in real-life

As to why I’m asking– just getting around to giving all my honeymoon photos from two years ago proper titles
