It's a scorpion fish.

Nice pictures, I love Folly Cove, best shore dive in NE. Rick the first fish is a Sculpin, the second is a Sea Raven. They look somewhat similiar, but look for the fringe around the mouth which indicates it's a Sea Raven. No fringe = Sculpin.

thank you... KKMatt couldn't believe that the sea raven sat there for about 15 pics... some with the housing only a couple inches away.

It really is a great site...and having 30 feet of visibility makes it all the better.

My favorite pictures are actually of all the anenomes. I think those came out just great...truly gives you a sense of the unique characteristics of New England diving.

nice pics.....................one thing though, try to avoid taking photo's from above or behind, it doesn't do the camera, photographer or the subject justice

Cecil once bubbled...
Rick the first fish is a Sculpin, the second is a Sea Raven.

Just so we don't confuse everybody, Sculpins & Sea Ravens (and Sea Robins and Barbfish & several others whose common name includes "Scorpion") are all Scorpion fishes....
