Balistes punctatus. This is a very pretty fish with a light yellowish colored body covered in dark spots and blue markings, with a bright gold-colored spot on each side. Somewhat rarely seen in the general trade/local shops because it's not only quite aggressive, its large size requires an aquarium at least that of about 200 gallons to house it correctly!
