Toadfish. Splendid is implied but not guaranteed.
OK, so here's a pretty good argument against feeding the sharks. The fish in this video is clearly way too interested in divers. Note how it first approaches one of the DM's (the other shot the video) and is particularly interested in his hands? It then checks out each diver, and is also especially interested in the DM who shot the video.
This puts the shark in danger (see the guy freaking out and trying to kick it at 00:28 and 00:44?) and its abnormal approach is encouraging divers to engage in really bad shark-bothering behavior. If someone gets hurt, it's going to be the shark that gets the blame.
I wasn't there, but this was taken with one of our cameras. My family did not engage in any fish-mauling. My wife is the one with her ankles crossed around 01:24 and my son is the guy with the camera at 01:30. Our DM friend who took the video chewed everyone out later on the boat, but clearly by then it was too late.
Edit: This was taken at Colombia on 27 December 2014, about 3 months before the other video I posted showing a shark demonstrating excessive interest in divers in the same area.
