This is a juvenile jackknife fish (Equetas lanceolatus.)

Here's the link to its page on fishbase.org:
http://www.fishbase.org/Summary/SpeciesSummary.cfm?genusname=Equetus&species
name=lanceolatus

I have had another member of this genus in my tank for about 2 years. It is
a cubbyu (Equetus umbrosus.)

To see how I cycled a new saltwater tank using household ammonia, with
pictures and references, take a look at:
