tassel snouted flathead
http://fishwrecked.com/content/fishwreckapedia?page=1
Tassel-Snouted Flathead can vary in colour from pale brown to purple with a number of variable dark saddles and markings, their colours generally camaflouging with the surroundings. They have a very large head (approx 40% of their body size) which is depressed with several ridges with strong spines. There is a dark band along the margin of the first short, spiny dorsal fin and all other fins have markings. They have large eyes and a large mouth with bands on the lower jaw. There is occasionally a bushy tentacle on the eye, which causes confusion with the Fringe-eyed Flathead.
Tassel-Snouted Flathead grow to 38cms.
They are considered good eating.
Tassel-Snouted Flathead are found from south-west Western Australia, around the southern temperate waters up to southern Queensland. They are not in Tasmanian waters.
