What is this fish?

From a collection of dive photos online, this one is captioned "Titan Trigger Defending Nest."</em>

What is the fish on the <u>left</u> side of the picture?

Anyone know? I'm guessing some kind of trigger, but I've never seen that kind of coloration. Might be in shadow though.

Dive site was Palau.

Undulate on the left, Titan on the right. Meanest fish I've ever seen or handled. The thing would eat whole carrots.

Great shot. I always close my hands into fists when around triggers out in the wild. After seeing them, parrotfish, etc. munch through live rock like it was butter I realize the power of these fish.
