Balistoides viridescens. This species has a whitish face, dark cross-hatched body, yellow tail, dorsal, and anal fins all edged in black, with its peduncle area white. Even though fairly attractive in appearance, its 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 300 gallons to house correctly!
