Another unknow fish caught :P

[vampirexevipex]

Hello, i dont normaly ask for people to identify fish for me but... this fish, i cannot find it anywhere on the internet! Its hard like a piece of coral (Shrimp tried to eat it twice, but failed) and less than a inch long. I accidentally caught it at North of Puerto Rico (I live there) and everywhere i look, i cannot find crap. So can anyone help me?
Heres the picture of the fish:

I only can see its tail, and it looks like a swimming pellet.

That's actually a mollusk known as a cowrie. Hard shell, kinda like a snail. not a vertebrate fish at all.

Not sure if it's a cowrie, but it's definitely an INvertebrate! Not a fish!

 

[vampirexevipex]

No, it actually has all fins and no snail appearance also has eyes and big lips. Its totally a fish (It has all its fins except the dorsal and the pelvic fin, and swims really fast). On the upper left you'll see a drawing that i made, because my camera sucks at taking photos of small things.

LOL, you had to ask that... uhmm well... None of your business .Can someone look at the fish instead of the carpet? lol
Well... since it was the brightest part of the house, uhmm well i had the awkward idea to put it there to take a pic of it. lol i don't recommend doing that XD

SO is it still alive? In a tank? What????

 

[snakeblitz33]

is it still alive and swimming?

 

[bang guy]

looks a bit like a Trunkfish.

 

[snakeblitz33]

can you post a picture of it swimming if it is still alive?
If it's really hard, I am sticking to my original post, it's a cowrie shell. I see no indication of a tail or fins. One of the markings looks like an eye, however, I am doubting it actually is.
Good troll though.

Here are the pics of the "Thingy":


I dont think you'll see it here.


As i said: MAH CAMERA SUCKS TAKING PHOTOS OF SMALL THINGYS!

that fish is alittle cutie!!!!

 

[rlablan]

This was a hitchhiker?!?!?! How did you catch an unknown fish in your own tank? CRAZY!!!
If I may offer a tip... next time you catch something random, why not put it in a small bowl or a cup of water then take a picture... I use a white mixing bowl from the kitchen. Then you won't kill or harm whatever you've caught, incase you wanna keep it.
That fish is cute. I hope you kept him.

Just a warning - Many Trunkfish excrete a potent toxin when severly stressed. This toxin will only affect fish but it's potent enough to kill all fish in the tank including the Trunkfish.
