Yep definitely a Rock Cale, fairly common in the area but not often caught on line, many spear fisho's get them along the weedy inshor reefs on the southern end of PPB.

Do a search on the species name (Aplodactylus lophodon) and you will find heaps of other pictures and stuff to help you work it out.

i see afew of these in the reef when im diving real pretty to look at!
