Had a similar experience as my buddy caught the eyes of the Barracuda with his camera strobe on a night dive and it came right at him... Similar scary experience, but quite a funny picture of a toothy set of jaws having a head on collision with the camera dome port!
They don’t intentionally attack, but remember, night time is when many fish feed and they can be more aggressive when in hunting mode, especially with poor eyesight... Don’t let it put you off, but take it as a lesson learned :)
