Yes, it has a small beak and I do believe spanko is correct. Thank you for everyone's help!

I'd say Henry nailed it...looks like Dactyloptena orientalis (AKA flying gurnard). These fish are difficult to feed, get fairly large (14" or so), and require a large tank with LOTS of open sandy area...so think about 180 gals in terms of footprint (more is even better).
HTH
