Thats what I thought, but looked in marine books and havent got any that look like it
From what I can remember it was triangular ish in shape, so I do think its some type of puffer, just unsure which...

I did some looking and believe it is a sharpnose puffer, possibibly a low spot sharpnose puffer (Canthigaster inframacula). The one I have listed is a Pacific puffer so if the picture was taken near you, this would not be the right fish.

It's a smooth trunkfish (Lactophrys triqueter). Very common in the Caribbean.
