Young easily identified by the unusual coloration. Adults normally have an oval shaped black saddle near the tail, but it may become indistinct in large males (Ref. 48636).
Life Cycle
provided by Fishbase
Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Size at sex change: 38.6-40.5 cm L (Ref. 55080).
Morphology

Dorsal spines (total): 12; Dorsal soft rays (total): 10; Analspines: 3; Analsoft rays: 12

Adults occur on deep reef slopes rich with invertebrates such as sponges and seawhips, but young adults are occasionally seen much shallower (Ref. 48636). Usually solitary in coral and rocky reefs. Feed mainly on benthic, hard-shelled, invertebrates such as mollusks and crustaceans. Protogynous (Ref. 55080). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205).

Bodianus bilunulatus
provided by wikipedia EN
Bodianus bilunulatus, the tarry hogfish, is a species of wrasse native to the Indian Ocean from the African coast to the western Pacific Ocean to Japan, New Caledonia, and the Philippines.
Habitat
This species occurs on reef slopes at depths of from 3 to 160 m (9.8 to 524.9 ft) with the adults being found in deeper waters than the juveniles. This species can reach 55 cm (22 in) in total length with a maximum recorded weight of 1.8 kg (4.0 lb). It is of minor importance to local commercial fisheries and is also popular as a game fish. It can also be found in the aquarium trade.[2] Other common names include: blackspot wrasse, crescent-banded hogfish, saddle-back hogfish, table boss, and tuxedo hogfish.
Taxonomy
The Hawaiian population of this species has been recently elevated to full species status based on some minor coloration differences, as Bodianus albotaeniatus.[3][4][5]
