Howdoweplaythis Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) My friend found this guy on the beach in Port Stephens. She said it 'didn't have fins' and eventually 'floated out with the waves'. She wasn't sure whether it was alive or dead at the time. Ideas?

0 Dr Funk Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Spot on. I'd say a Juvenile Smallspine Turretfish And with the seperate dorsal spines it couldnt be the humpback Turretfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
