Can anyone help me identify this juvenile filefish from TK in the Lembeh Strait?
Paramonacanthus choirocephalus perhaps? Or maybe Acreichthys tomentosus?

The skin flaps suggest Acreichthys tomentosus rather than Paramonacanthus.

Thank you Mark. Do you mean the existence of skin flaps, or the shape/distribution of them? There are quite a lot of pictures of so-called Paramonacanthus choirocephalus on the net with numerous skin flaps, from some usually-reliable sources. They may of course be mis-IDs.
