0 slinkymalinky Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 It's a Frogfish. There's different comments in a couple of my books... one says harmless, the other 'reputed to be venemous'. It's not a Stonefish though but I still wouldn't be playing around with a fish that looks like that. Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Day's Fishin Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I think it's a Tassled Scorpionfish & if it is it has poisonous dorsal fins. Regards Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
