I've had him for about a year now, I have tried to ID him myself but just can't come to a for sure conclusion without some outside input. One thing I do know is he's no fish to recon with - He ATE my antenna lion the first day he was in the tank. And this guy doesn't go hungry, he eats a whole shrimp every 2-3 days. We named him BIOHAZARD Anyways I look forward to seeing what you all have to say.

The pic is a bit fuzzy so it is hard to tell, but from the looks of the relatively flat head and body I would say Toadfish.

it appears to be a toadfish,,, the most common in the aquarium trade is the Gulf Toadfish red to grey in color, though there are alot of different kinds...

without a doubt, a toadfish. Looks like a gulf but hard to say from the pic google Opsanus pardus, or opsanus betta.
