Cricketman Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Seem awfully similar to a species that i saw diving "penguin island" around Slipper island a couple years ago that (as far as i know) hasn't been ID'ed before, closest i can get is a crested weed fish that isn't quite right. though from its movements and the way it "crawled" through the eklonia/ seaweed using its pelvic and pectoral fins, i am now convinced that it must be a similar species to these. Anyone want to fund a research party? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deno Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 http://news.msn.co.nz/glance/1058542/fish-with-hands-found Wicked I want some I don't. I think it'd be like they were somehow in charge of me. If they look at you like that I wouldn't want to miss feeding them one night, probably have nightmares about them coming to get me. :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navarre Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 Next step from blennies and rock hoppers i guess. You know when you are diving and the little blighters seem to sit on their pectoral fins and tell you to sod off Might do lermentov on Queens Birthday. Wicked dive and would have got some wicked stuff off of ship if it wasnt illegal. I like swimming the corridors cause you always find something new and the rudders always put that ol girl in perspective. I am 6 2 and with arms out stretched and fin tips pointed they are taller and wider than me. Doubt I will see any red hand fish there tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquila Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 What do they mean newly discovered? These fish have been documented since before I was a wee little tikett watching the discovery channel. Maybe they are just referring to the pink one being new. These 'handfish' just look like frogfish which are a type of coastal anglerfish. Here are some more 'walking fish' Eastern Sea robin http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_robin and a Batfish! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red-lipped_batfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquila Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 I think its the same fish as a gernard. Yeah...the article took the angle on it like "look! fish with hands! we've never seen this before!" when really the scientists were excited to just discover a single new species Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smidey Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 i thought they would have called them legs rather than hands, hands would be used to pick things up would they not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
