Mimic
This is a juvenile mimic filefish (Paraluteres prionurus). As its name indicates it mimics another fish that is poisonous: the black-saddle toby. We can tell them apart by the length of their dorsal fin. However it would've been hard for this one without a picture since it was only a few cm long, trying to hide in a little coral head. Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia.
