Sorry, I should have listed the approximate size in my original post and the pic doesn't give much perspective. This fish is 20-24 inches long (50-65 cm). While it looks a lot like the juvenile, it is definitely not a juvenile (based on its size) and the adult sweetlips looks totally different. Excellent attempt, sorry I didn't help you more on the front end. My fish also seems to have the large lips characteristic of a sweetlip.

This is a teenager in fish terms still in some juvenile clouds but not reached the adult colour!
