Is it Rhinopias frondosa (Weedy Scorpionfish)?

The first picture is an alligator pipefish, Syngnathus biaculeatus. They have prehensile tails. :)

The Squirrelfish looks like a Sargocentron sp.--Samurai (or Soldier) Squirrelfish.

looked up fishbase with that genus name, found these two that look quite like the one I have:

Sargocentron praslin
Sargocentron vexillarium

which one do you folks think it is?
