Do you have a picture of him in white lights, so we can get a better idea of his coloration?

I'll have to get one later at work now. The slight coloring on the scales on the back are orange but they are very faint

There is a wrasse lovers thread on here, you might want to post there. If I had to guess, I would say its a juvenile earmuff wrasse (Halichoeres Melasmapomus). Its definitely in the Halichoeres family.

Best I could do from them photos I have. It doesn't have the earmuff spot on it

It's Halichoeres trimaculatus

I was thinking of telling the OP that this is the fish, but I wasn't sure from his pics si far. Glad I waited. Thank Poseidon we have you, The Wrasse Guy, here to help.

I had the pleasure to see this species (about this same size) in Fiji, coming in from snorkeling, in less than 2 feet of water near the shore. It was so close to my face, I didn't have time to get the camera up before he darted off.
