No 5" fish in a 10gal saltwater tank. A warty/clown frogfish needs 20-30 gallons, and those are only 4" long. Definitely no walking batfish, those grow past 9 inches. No sharpnose puffer. Pea puffers (freshwater) can work in a 10gal. 

 

There are frogfish species that stay 2" or under. If you could get one of those, it could work. A rooster waspfish would be fine, or a geometric pygmy hawkfish. You want perching fish that don't go significantly past 2" long, for a 10gal tank.
