NOT a stonefish .......
i would go for a devil fish but if it had a couple of big spines sticking out of its back i would say stone fish.
Oh again you keep posting to solve "What's that?"
I counted the vote on species through threads;
Stone fish = 2
Devil fish = 3
Frog fish = 5
Stargazer = 6
Final answer is Banded frogfish or Halophryne diemensis in latin/technical speak!
Time to close the case
Thanks for your wonderful feedback
Happy fishing
