This is a marine/estuarine fish, but I don't believe they are present in the aquarium trade. This seemed like the best forum for this, but feel free to move it if it'd be more appropriate elsewhere.
This is a pigfish (Orthopristis chrysoptera), a member of the grunt family and a close relative of the snapper family. Grunts vocalize by scraping their pharyngeal (throat) teeth together. This small specimen was unbelievably loud.
Documented on the gulf coast of Florida.
