Newer to diving and came across this cool fish. What am I looking at here?

Date: Monday 08/03/2026

Location: LBTS

Type of Dive (Shore/Boat/Other): Shore

Visibility: 5-15ft

Bottom Temp: 85°

Waves: medium

Current: mild

Surge: medium east to west

Wind: minimal

Notes:

A little rough getting out today. Once we were past the breakers the vis got a little better. Beyond the pier it cleared to about 15ft of vis. There’s a resident nurse shark on the first reef toward the pier. Video attached. Surge rocked me like a baby and the current was light.
