Not a yellowhead jawfish.

Looks like it may be part of the dartfish family. Try fishbase.org

gah the name escapes me, but i know J&L had one of those in the new & noteworthy section fairly recently. They also have one (the same one maybe?) in their display tank. It is definitely no firefish. Why don't you send them an email with that pic asking them?

Yup, I was about to say tilefish. Never seen this species of tilefish before though.
