I agree yellow spot boxfish.
Be careful if it dies can poison the whole tank.
 
There a cool fish but stress easily and get bored easily , just observations from keeping them before. Every time I've had them they have been ich prone so you may need to have copper ready. Also they can be picky eaters, mine preferred mysis and didn't touch pellets really. Just out of curiosity how did you catch this guy?
 
That looks like a tiny yellow boxfish to the untrained eye... he’s not with Mr. Orange Seahorse right? They can poison the whole tank if they go...

What’s it called
 
If it’s a yellow boxfish or spotted boxfish it is also a crustacean predator so probably not safe for an inverts tank either
