Brown Chubb
(Kyphosus bigibbus)

The Brown Chubb is a common fish in Hawaii. It is abundant at many snorkeling and diving spots, and will usually be looking for a handout. Its body is often dull gray to silver, but it can darken parts of its body, making it part light and part dark. It can also display a mottled pattern along its back and sides.
