Pseudomonacanthus macrurus
Also known as Strap-weed Leatherjacket, Small-spotted Filefish and Small-spotted Leatherjacket. They feed on invertebrates and algae, and grow to a length of about 24cm.
Found singly in weed or seagrass beds on reef flats and in lagoons, at depths of 1 to 10m. Widespread in the Asia-Pacific region.
I spotted this fish at a depth of about 90 feet.
