This is a juvenile Hairy Frogfish - Antennarius striatus. Frogfish tends to stay put and may not move/swim away like in this case, even when I put a Filipino 1 Peso coin. The purpose of using the coin was to show the size of the Frogfish, which is around 2 cm, instead of using a ruler next to it but 'spoil' the picture.
The striated frogfish or hairy frogfish, ''Antennarius striatus'', is a marine fish belonging to the family Antennariidae.
