Serena Pata, Lembeh.
Here is the front view and the next twp pics is the fish displaying its colorful fins as a warning.
<<Inimicus didactylus flashes the bright undersides of its pectoral fins as a warning to predators when disturbed. Specialized for its benthic habitat, it has 2 feeler rays on its pectoral fins that probe the seafloor and allow it to "walk" along the bottom. Its eyes and nostrils are located above its dorsal profile as another benthic specialization.>>
