Unfortunbately it is a fish native to Japam, Okinawa.
How it could end up in Florida is beyond me.
Here is a photo of a juvenile. Note the lip structure.

Well done!

A problem in Florida is created by people disposing of unwanted pets by
just letting them go into the wild.
Possibly someone removed them from an aquarium. We end up with a popuation
of non-native species of wildlife.

Thank you,
