Marta, this may not be a Painted Stingfish, but I can't be sure as can't see the barbels and the rays of the pectoral fins, which they used for 'walking'. Posted 5 years ago

  I am also not sure of this species Id but it seemed to have these walking barbels, one is the yellowish sticking appendage next to its face in the picture. Can you suggest an alternative, alike species? It could be a young scoripion fish, otherwise? Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

    My apology, not able to help or determine what it is likely to be, if its not a Painted Stinger. Posted 5 years ago
