I caught this tropical fish in the Hudson Canyon in New Jersey Sept 15th, 2014 near the light we had in the water. Really cool fish with a real nice personality. It seems to like corals polyp tips and looks like a leaf. Flat fish , spike on top that goes down, brown with light color spots.
I would love to know what kind of fish this is. It got caught in the Gulf Stream. Thanks.
