Super Housemonkey!
I'm thinking Channomuraena vittata, Long jawed Moray, AKA Broad Banded moray. I know that Scott Michaels first Reef Fish book has information on it inside.

Starting a new theme to keep it interesting, mimicry!
The poisonous Canthigaster valentini:
And the fish that are not eaten because they look like him, first a grouper, Plectropomus laevis:
And a filefish, Paraluteres prionurus:
Mimicry is a fascinating subject, my lab is working on several projects involving mimicry at the moment...
Here is a Mimic Saddle Puffer for sale. Just thought I'd share.
