Its actually a yellowtail emperor.  They have a bigger eye than your common sweetlip/red throat and have the distinct yellow inside the fork of the tail.  Sweetlip also have more of a sloped head (similar to the longnose emp) whilst the yellowfin has more of a bream shaped head.

 

This is a redthroat/sweetlip:
