It blends in well so hard to tell but it looks like a Scooter.

Definitely not a 'scooter blenny' or any type of dragonet. It is a blenny, probably a lawnmower blenny. Very good algae eaters.

It isn't a lawnmower, the algae blenny. You can tell because of the giant black spot on the fin. That is a 'one spot' blenny.
You can see the differences here:
Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: Sailfin/Algae Blenny
Saltwater Aquarium Fish for Marine Aquariums: One Spot Blenny
The photo on the one spot's page isn't as good as the one on LA's blenny page. It gives a much better ID for the one spot there.
