0 noelm Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 They are common in Gemfish guts when cleaned, very rough scales and about 100-150mm long, never really worried about what they were called, but I might look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Blackfish Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 (edited) Hi Tony, Im thinking it could be a Piedtip Cucumberfish "Paraulopus okamurai" Also I wouldn't know where to start if it wasn't for your suggestion. Thanks. Edited April 20, 2019 by Blackfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I don't think it, is as there are some blue marks near the gills, the photos don't really show the colours properly but it is clearly visible when we caught them, so the correct matched is the banded cucumberfish https://australianmuseum.net.au/learn/animals/fishes/banded-cucumberfish-paraulopus-balteatus/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
