Well so it is thanks Tzer, that will solve any arguments on the boat tomorrow we were coming up with all sorts of strange theories of what it could be we thought a snapper and terakihi must have had a baby together

I took this photo at the Poor Knights. The name has slipped by mind, but it looks bloody similar, minus the black spot of course.

By far the best answer but I know better than to disagree with Tzer.Plus I have actually seen one of those and we decided it was a butterfly perch too. Must be true!
