At first I thought it could have been a frogfish, but as I read on, the bit about the small fins in a circular socket made me think of some kind of pufferfish.
Maybe Dr/Prof Wally will know. You may even get the Latin name too.

Definitely sounds like a pufferfish of some sort Probably a White spotted puffer. Do you have a good pic Ev?

I may have, but I haven't the time to trawl through my photos at the moment.

I've cleared my history folder, and they still work OK.

The easiest way is to just Google images for "white spotted puffer"

It may even be the Green White-Spotted Puffer shown HERE (if that works}.

Sorry about the delay but I haven't been able to get to the PC.

No, no and probably no but it looks on those lines. The fin was a lot smaller than the hole it was in - looked deformed. Would these puffer fish be in shallow water. the bit is was was probably 800 meters plus from anything over knee height.

The front end looked like a frog sitting there in the water so it would have had spaced out eyes, Don't recollect puppy dog eyes thoughh and don't remember obvious white markings underneath but it only moved about 3 inches and sat there looking at me and I wasn't going to take any chances. I think it was more speckled than spotted but the memory isn't the same anymore! Typical: I went out there to film the fish and the only day I saw anything worthwhile I didn't have the camera with me.

Having read through this thread but never having been to Egypt (11 days to go) I was just wondering do shisha pipes have some sort of hallucinogenic affect :rofl
Sorry Everest I can't get the links open either, but you have me intrigued now.

Well this really is strange! Ev's links have worked for me since the day he posted them. What is the matter with you lot? :roll: AND, I haven't touched the shisha since sunday!
