A very ugly fish.... looks like a rock fish. I would guess that you would want to keep it in an aggreesive tank.

The Northern Sea Robin, also known as the Sea Goblin, or Searobin, is a blend of browns and reds, has a large "wing span," and numerous sharp spines.
The Northern Sea Robin also has legs, and spends time hiding on the bottom of a 100 gallon or larger aquarium with a sand bed. It will occasionally walk across the sand bed in search of food.
The diet consists of live feeder fish, small tank mates, and a variety of other meaty foods.
