It's a Baloonfish.... so named, because they can inflate themselves, which will raise the spines that cover their body as a protective device.
They are slow swimmers and like to hang out near the bottom in grassy areas, mangroves or on the reef.
They are shy and will retreat to a protective area if approached.
But then they will peak out, with this kind of great smile.... and what always looks to me, like stars in their eyes.
