I'm sorry, but it isn't a fluke. It is a flounder of the genus Paralichthys, one of the sand flounders. My money is that it's a P. albigutta, gulf flounder, but I would need to see more of its visible side to be sure. Google also P. dentatus, summer flounder and P. lethostigma, southern flounder. All three have very similar faces, but a positive diagnosis can be made by observing the arrangement and types of spots that are on the visible side. BHB = Blue Heron Bridge.

The cirri, those protrusions from his head between his eyes. Almost all blennies have them, gobies don't. Although they are not visible in you image a blennies pelvic fin are seperated whereas most gobies pelvis fins are fused together.

In Topic: Tokina 35 mm macro with 1.4 teleconverter
10 August 2012 - 04:12 AM
I already have a 60mm macro. I just want to experiment with the combo, but I don't have the lens yet and would like to see what is possible before buying the lens. I shoot a lot of North American freshwater fishes in fast flowing streams and rivers and I get into areas/situations in which the 60mm is too narrow, not enough background and my 12-24mm is too wide. I'm thinking the 35mm might be a good compromise and with the addition of the TC I could squeeze a little more magnification out of it if I need it.
