Pinecone Fish | ©Michael D. Delaney
Monocentrus japonica is better known as the Pinecone fish due to the pattern of its large scales (scutes).
It belongs to the family Monocentridae (order Beryciformes), found in the tropical Indo-West Pacific oceans, at depths of between 2 and 100m [source]. This one was photographed in Thailand.
