heheh as soon as you said gurnard i went googling... saw they looked very similar so was about to do a flying gurnard vs sea robin search...
hehe apparently you did it already
as for the nudibranchs... i know them ALL as nudibranchs... so i can't be of any use
is that last fish some sort of scorpionfish?
Haha. So do I. They're all nudis to me.
I should think that last fish is some sort of scorpionfish, which is vague since scorpionfish is the generic name of a family of fishes. What intrigues me is that it looks like it has some sort of coral growth on it, so I want to find out which species it belongs to.

ahh cool. i thought it was a specific fish, not a family.
When you said coral i was thinking, "ya, thats they're camo" but i relooked and i did see it. Perhaps its some sore of spawning thing? egg mass or something? santa costume?
by the way, how is the picture oriented? itlooks like the sand is a wall behind the fish? or was the fish indeed sideways?

It was sideways. The rock on it's left is the coral it was blending with. The fish does have a very unique camouflage, doesn't it? I don't think it's eggs.
Silly me forgot to add the link to my Flickr in my previous post. It's there now.
