Not sure actually, just guessing but it looks similar to one of the various pinfish used for bait here in Florida waters, maybe the pigfish family or some Pacific variation:

I believe it's a blue spot rabbit fish, also called a spine-foot.

I'm with matter on this one, or at least some species of rabbitfish.

Ahh yes, a rabbitfish... if you ever need to catch it, watch out for the venomous spine.

It is
Siganus guttatus (http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.cfm?ID=4588&genusname=Siganus&speciesname=guttatus)
Orange-spotted spinefoot (http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.cfm?ID=4588&genusname=Siganus&speciesname=guttatus)
