common name in NQ called John dory very common and actually good eating . a good sting that you will remember for ever though . even when there small the size of a fifty cent and get caught in your cast net in numbers there boot is just as good as full grown . have seen some people go nearly crazy with pain and quite a few finish at hospital.not much can be done but hot water over the sting area is about the best. pain lasts about 4 hrs usually i have had my share happy momment is tan colour sting similar just a bit less so handle with respect
