Saw him yesterday in the keys, any idea what he is?

Scrawled filefish (Aluterus scriptus)
 
I looked after one of these once that was about 18" long. It was a really cool fish that someone had bought to get rid of his aiptasia before he knew how big it got. It now resides in a local public aquaria and isn't something I'd recommend for a normal tank.
