Howdoweplaythis Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) My friend found this guy on the beach in Port Stephens. She said it 'didn't have fins' and eventually 'floated out with the waves'. She wasn't sure whether it was alive or dead at the time. Ideas? Edited January 3, 2016 by Howdoweplaythis
0 Blackfish Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 I'll take a guess. Smallspine Turretfish Tetrosomus reipublicae
0 hotbite Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Looks like a "Spiney Boxfish".....you find hundreds of them in the stomachs of Dolphinfish & Marlin
0 Dr Funk Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Spot on. I'd say a Juvenile Smallspine Turretfish And with the seperate dorsal spines it couldnt be the humpback Turretfish
