Is it Sun Fish?

They do have a similarity but the size and shape not exactly the same. The diagram that sketch the fish does shows that its could be a sun fish or mola mola tot. Maybe a mutant?

It looks like a product of a shark and puffer fish.

[hoppinghippos]

It's definitely a boxfish.

I have a Reef DVD that shows its name but I forgot what's its called.

Let you guys know later.

It's damn ugly.

[19percula]

the look is kind of a combination of a shark head wif a box fish body looks erieeeee

Looks man-made to me. You can't even see any water dripping from the fish. If the fish was that dry, its skin would be wrinkled already.

[Achilles Tang]

It's real, fuel.

Omg...what on earth spawned that creature. Thank goodness there are no land animals that look like that.

[jc85]

Guess, its really a DEEP BLUE SEA out there.

Can't wait to know what's its name.

we can never know.. There are deeper seas that man have not explored before.

Land animals? we can never know too. Man are still finding new species. Never know what lies in the amazon jungle alone, let alone the multiple forest and jungles we have not explored.

Not too sure but looks like an adult Largenose boxfish, Rhynchostracion rhinorhynchus, , uncommon in nature and found around E.Africa to Moluccas.

I think our sponsor, eaquarist got the answer. With the name he provided, I found this website and its the same pictures. Apparently caught in malaysian water.

Thumbs up to eaquarist.
