Pervagor melanocephalus (Bleeker, 1853)
Blackhead filefish, 16cm

This is another rather shy filefish that is rather tough to get a photo of. These photos were taken when one of us rounded a corner into a small cave on the seaward slope and surprised a filefish, who nearly held still long enough for a few quick shots.
