If it were Fowleria variegate, then the dark ocellated spot would be on the gill cover and I think in this photo it's to the left of the gill cover and not on it.

Apogon nigripinnis, Bullseye cardinalfish. Cool find.

Cheers,

Thanks Marli. Maybe I need a different book, or not common to the area Not shown in "Reef Fish ID", Allen, Humann.....

I finally found it in an old book: Coral Reef Fishes by Lieske & Myers. Range states Red Sea to N.W. Australia. Where was this taken?

On Fishbase, it has a new name:

Apogonichthyoides nigripinnis

Cheers,
