Cheilinus undulatus, for sure... also known as the Maori, humphead or Napoleon wrasse... and they do grow to 6'. :) Very neat fish, and great pic. :D

Thanks mate :)

One of the few fish that gets better and better as it larger!! :D

Deffinatley!!!
 
If its a wrasse,,, then theres something wrong with it,,, beause I have never heard of any large wrasse getting a hump...

But great looking whatever it is.
