Toilor Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Daughter caught this fella on chicken in amongst rock and kelp. Not the best pics I know but I didn't handle him at all so perfect release. Thanks in advance, Toilor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Volitan Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Yeah, weed fish for sure. We’ve had one here on the forum recently. There’s a handful of local species and they’re hard to tell apart being so variable but I’m going to call it a rosy weedfish (Heteroclinus roseus) due to the little black and white mark on the forward edge of the pectoral fin base.

0 JonD Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 My daughter thinks it's a species of weed fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Toilor Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Cheers guys great Id. The pic on the national museum site is a fish in a cormorants beak that doesn't look much like this little guy but searching Heteroclinus roseus much better pics and positive Id imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
