unknown fish

I took this photo in late June on a dive at Hilma Hooker (hopefully my attempt at posting it will work). Can anyone identify the fish in front of the wheel? I can't recall what it was and I can't find anything that looks like it in my books. Thanks for your help.

I don't see any fish in the picture. The thing you might be thinking is a fish is actually a sponge with holes in interesting places...

It's a Devilfish.
Note the horn on the right side of the head just adjacent to the strand shadow. Closely resembles a Pink Batfish found only on the remote ocean areas of Mars.

OK, so maybe it IS a sponge. I can't figure out why I would have taken a photo of it, though. Unfortunately, it's been too long for me to remember. I guess I should have taken better notes. Thanks for the "suggestions." Nice smile! :)

ben, looks like a fish to me:-) I think these folks have been dipping into sauce that makes them THINK they see a sponge (with the exception of Brian and Darryl...who see a fish too:)

And all I asked was a simple question about a fish ID!

Ben, sometimes an answer to a simple question gets totaly out of hand, that's why I love this place so much... :)

But have you got the answer you were looking for???

Well...maybe not the one I was looking for. Still the consensus seems to be something other than a fish!
