Very common on dives below depths of ~ 10 m,and @~20+ m it was prolific, usually as groups (numbering from several up to 10 or more) on higher parts of taller but solidly based sponges, where exposure to tidal flows was optimal.

Above, with Blacksaddle Toby, Canthigaster valentini, below. This is an opportunity to compare the two, which many people mix up.

Note the different fin shapes: the filefish has long dorsal and anal fins that attach half the length of the body, while the toby has tiny fan-shaped fins. The texture of the spotted pattern is different as well.
