Stuart Pearce Great shot :)

Stefan Follows any chance someone confirm my ID on this please?

Stuart Pearce Looks correct to me Stefan, Ron knows more about species from tropical seas than me, sure he will know :)

Ron Silver Yes, Stefan, this is H. diemensis. While confirming your ID, I saw it's common name referred to as Toadfish, Frogfish, and Stonefish......

Stefan Follows identity crisis....again! ;)

Ron Silver But only for the 'commoners'.......HA-HA! ;-D

Tom Hobock Wonderful Shot,better than any I've tried to shoot. Tanks for the share Tom
