That looks like a leaf fish to me..Pure predator and will swallow anything that can fit in its mouth.

It doesn't float nor swim much, it kinda walks like a blenny but very slow moving. It has a pointy mouth like a six line has, its kinda weird. Hides alot, beady eyes.

It does kinda look like a nudibranch Saltwater Aquarium Sea Slugs for Marine Reef Aquariums: Lettuce Sea Slug (Nudibranch), Green; more so than a leaf fish

It's a leaf fish. You can totally see the eyes and it does have a long slender mouth like a 6-line. Look at the picture again and you can see the eyes. It's a flat fish with ruffly/leafy dorsal fins.
Yote nailed it.

I looked up a leaf fish at liveaquaria and I don't think that's the fish.

This fish is very thin and has two sets of pectoral fins. The first set does not look like there is much web and he uses to them "walk on" and move independent of the second set which looks more like normal pectoral fins. Also the leaf fish looks like it has a large mouth, this fish has a small thin mouth.

There's a few different species; google leaf fish and check out the different ones...I tried posting an Amazonian one that looked kinda similar, but there African ones also...Also check out www.wetwebmedia.com they tend to have good species list
