She's exhausted her supply of critter ID books, and I couldn't find this in any of mine.
Anyone have an idea what species this might be?

This photo of dragonet is from a friend in Cairns. She took the photo a few years ago, in about 7 to 10 meters of water, among ruble and Acropora corals and came across another one last week.
She's exhausted her supply of critter ID books, and I couldn't find this in any of mine.

This looks very different from the S. bartelsi that I saw before. I am still trying, and e-mailing some specialists. Will let you know when I hear anything back from them.
