Looks like a Dory of some sort, but I don't see anything in Fishbase under Genus Zeus or Family Zeidae that matches, and the mouth is wrong. (Funny thing - Pterophyllum scalare - the freshwater angelfish - was at one point classifies in the Geneus Zeus with John Dories) Could it be an Oreo of some sort?
How about Neocyttus rhomboidalis, the Spiky Oreo? A deepwater fish, related to the Dories, living on the continental slope of the Southern Oceans, forming large shoals and feeding on salps, crustaceans, fish, and squid.
