| Help identifying this strange fish
I just cam back from getting my open water diving certification in Destin Florida. While I was relaxing at the shoreline of the beach I came across this fish that was swimming at the very edge of the shoreline. It looks like a cross between a angel and a butterfly. However the face is too rounded to be a butterfly and the dorsal fins to pointed to be a angel.
Could this be some type of batfish???? I know its a wild guess, but I've looked all over for indentification and I can't find anything.
This guy is so docile I picked him up with my bare hands and he's already taking frozen mysis shrimp.
Can someone please indentify what I have. Perhaps some local residents in the Panhandle??? |
