Title: A fish that looks like a butterfly Written by: duddy on Mar 23, 2013 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/4_23_03_13_7_22_21.png) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=11485) This is a butterfly gurnard fish. They have a large bony head and a bony rostrum on the snout with a very small median notch with tiny spines. They are sandy with reddish bands and blotches and often turn red on capture. The greenish pectoral fins are round with bright blue spots and margins, and a roundish black blotch with a bright blue margin and scattered blue spots inside. |
