0 Ray R Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Looks like one of those ' I'm ugly and don't touch me cause I have poisonous spines and barbs fish', if caught near structure or a jetty, wharf etc, I'd say it is an Eastern Frogfish, huge head and mouth with small tapered body..

0 sniper Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Your fish is a Stargazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ryhno Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I agree a Stargazer... And definately on the stay the hell away from list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 slinkymalinky Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Position of the ventral fins is wrong for a Stargazer (where they are noticeably in front of the Pec fins)... I agree with Ray that it's an Eastern Frogfish. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Davemmm Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I think I have found every spot in the Port Hacking that holds these slimey pains. It is definately an eastern frogfish. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
