    Thanks for the replies and everyone chipping in.Ill try to get another pic. It seems extremely shy and I have not seen it fir a few days now. It does look alot like what coralline said a Opsanus beta.

    Toadies get rather large (a foot or so, if it's O. beta) and have large mouths and appetites, they also have venomous dorsal spines.

    That being said, most folks who keep them really enjoy them.
