Cymbacephalus beauforti (Knapp, 1973)
Crocodilefish, 50cm

This large crocodilefish was resting on soft coral covered reef in about 7m of water during a night dive at Padangbai near Blue Lagoon. Although Fishbase reports the maximum length of this species at 50cm, I'd swear this one was much bigger, closer to twice that size.
