Wow! That sure is cool, at first I thought "crosshatch" but I don't think that is right.

Hey I found a pic/website that I think matches...but I'm on a PDA so I didn't see the fish too well...anyways, here it is: A more open ocean species, the Redtail or Crosshatch Triggerfish, Xanthichthys mento (Jordan & Gilbert 1882). Entire tropical Pacific. To a foot in length. One in captivity and a school off of Socorro in the Eastern Pacific.
