looks like a trigger fish, but I don't think so

I've searched over 100 photos looking for what this is called.. help me please. Sorry for the low resolution.. it was pretty much an all gray fish... not multicolored as the photo suggests.. maybe 15" long or longer... we saw several on a recent trip to riviera maya.

Almost positive that's an Ocean Triggerfish.

I'll second the vote for Ocean Triggerfish.

Thanks everyone.. I looked at about 50 different types of trigger fish and ocean trigger wasn't mentioned once in the resourses I was using.. and this fish seemed to have much taller fins than all that I saw, although trigger fish was the fin structure of this fish I still questioned it..
I found several pics now after googling "ocean trigger" and that's the one for sure.. thanks .. I can sleep now
