Creature of the day:  Bridled Burrfish, Chilomycterus antennatus

Photos online do not capture the cuteness of this fish.  It hovers like a small helicopter, with its pectoral fins whirring.  I saw it in the mangroves near the boat, with local fishermen out there every day.  It's in the same family as blowfishes- so probably not very good eating.
