I'm not sure what a "lantern" is but you can look over the tobies in our Pufferpedia.

Canthigaster epilampra - lantern toby will look like that when adult:

Beware there are several similar species and the IDs in the shops are often plain wrong.

I believe lantern refers to the iridescent lines radiating from the eyes, which makes them look like light emitted from a lantern (the eyes).
