Hi

Firstly I apologise for the poor quality photos, the conditions were err, challenging.

Anyway does anybody know what this fish is?

http://www.albumsnaps.com/index.php?content=folder&id=5011

Seen in Bintan (next to Singapore) in the south China sea.
Length about 5cm, depth about 0.5m.

It was spikey like some puffer fishes, but also had a kind of trigger fin like a trigger fish.

Is it maybe a juvenile?
Would love the answer to be a trigger fish, I have a bet that it is.

Thanks
