Anyone care to take a stab at an ID on this one for me. At only 3cm long, im thinking some kind of pygmy or juvenile decorated/ornate tropical file fish?
Thanks

Excellent photos! You got a couple little "lice" on that soft coral too. I just came back from Raja and saw a couple filefishes like this one in 5 meters or so, in that pinkish/brownish "asparagus" coral... I could never get a photo, they are skittish! Great find and photo!

Just looked it up on fishbase and based on the photos and description, you got it! Thanks so much.
