    does it's fins come out like wings? flying gurnard? I've seen big ones while snorkeling in Jamaica. Very cool looking, but I think they do better in the ocean. They are jumpers...

    if you look after the description here, you will see other "varieties". Dactylopteridae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Not sure of the fish but the first thing that caught my eye was the cyano. How is that battle coming along?
