Smooth Toadfish (Tetractenos glaber)
Smooth Toadfish (Tetractenos glaber), Coalcliff, New South Wales.
I decided to poke around the tidal pools one night and it was incredible the diversity of life that emerges in them when the sun goes down. One of the most abundant fishes were these Smooth Toadfish where were attracted to my lights and are a pest when fishing with lines near the rocks. They are also highly toxic and shouldn't be eaten.
