Can you name this fish
Hi,
We were recently on vacation in florida and my daughters found this fish washed up on shore of Cocoa Beach. We bagged it to look at it and then released it back into the ocean. Can anyone tell what it is? |

Yup, i agree. I caught one in some sea weed off Ft lauderdale beach. Took it home and set up a tank for it. Interesting little creatures.

Cool find! When I lived near water I was never able to find anything cool like that.
