Soleichthys heterorhinos (Bleeker, 1856)
Blacktip sole, 18.0cm

These photos were taken at night at Padangbai, Pemuteran and on the Liberty wreck at Tulamben.

Covering itself with sand.

Animals similar to the small one below were identified on iNaturalist as juveniles of this species. I'd like to see some intermediates to confirm that. The eyes on this specimen seem a bit wrong and the erect snout siphon is not visible.
