Spiny Gurnard

You need to be a pretty odd looking fish to get away with a name like Gurnard. On first sight these fish just don't cut it. They look like just another pink fish sitting on the ocean floor.

But when they splay their electric blue wings you soon realise they are something special. And then comes the odd bit... they stand up on spiny legs and walk off. Now that's a Spiny Gurnard.
