ornate_wrasse 0 Posted December 22, 2015 This may be too tiny to identify but I was hoping someone would know what it is. I have posted the image on my Facebook page as part of the 7 day Nature Challenge and I figured it would be a good idea to know what it is :-) In the image, the dive guide is pointing to the critter. Thanks. ellen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glasseye Snapper 47 Posted December 23, 2015 The easy part is that it is a fish. It could be a juvenile which can always hard to ID. Without opening a book here are some suggestions. If it is a juvenile I would lean towards one of the different kinds of scorpionfish or a flathead. In the non-juvenile category you could consider a dragonet. They have the wedge-shape structure of a head and can have this type of saddle-banding across their back. Bart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maractwin 2 Posted December 26, 2015 I think this is a flathead, a member of the Platycephalidae family. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
