Description

Above, with Blacksaddle Toby, Canthigaster valentini, below. This is an opportunity to compare the two, which many people mix up.

Note the different fin shapes: the filefish has long dorsal and anal fins that attach half the length of the body, while the toby has tiny fan-shaped fins. The texture of the spotted pattern is different as well.
