Thanks Andrew, now I remember, I saw plenty of them diving at the Marlborough Sounds and on the Mikhail Lermintov, so yeah more of a South Island fish than what we are used to seeing up north and I can imagine they may congregate with Pink Maomao's...

Its pectoral fins are approximately the same length as the head. The Adults develop spots, pale blue fin margins and a blue band behind the eye.
It forms large combined groups in deeper water which are exposed to continual strong tidal water movement. At night they can be seen sleeping in shallow depressions and rock crevices on the reef, and are replaced by schools of Barber Perch that are of similar appearance.
