Not much is visible. Wild guess- batfish.

Was it walking on the bottom?

Did it look like this

 

[scottwilson1]

That's pretty close - mine had more spots with a couple stripes - I have a better pic at home that I cleaned up with photoshop will post tonight
but that's close just a different skin pattern

yes it was hanging out on the sandy bottom - camo's very well against sand
