0 barnzey Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 It looks like a Selenotoca multifasciata to me. It's in the Scatophagidae family what ever it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Yowie Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Appears to be that Barnzey, which is a Striped Butterfish. Unless some-one can go one better than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mechanic1300 Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Thanks for that. Now I know to be wary when handling. As you can see by the photo I didnt really want to go anywhere near those spines. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Howdoweplaythis Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Striped scat it is. http://australianmuseum.net.au/Striped-Scat-Selenotoca-multifasciata/ They have poisonous spines. First fish that ever stung me. I have seen them for sale at the fish shops though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
