Plagiotremus tapeinosoma
This fish will sneak up on other fish, tear off a scale (or a bit of their skin) and then quickly swim away. It loosely mimics the cleaner fish which allows it to get close and has two specialised teeth for removing scales that look like the teeth of a sabretooth tiger. Guardian: Nicole Holdsworth
