I was snorkeling and freediving at Wakatobi in the shallows right off the resort (near the pier). As I was swimming back in to shore I noticed this guy in the sand. He was right near the 2nd cut (for those of you familiar with Wakatobi) in about 4-5 feet of water. When I saw him I assumed he was a Stargazer because of the shape of the mouth but after looking at the photo I believe my initial assumption was incorrect. Sorry the image isn't great but hopefully there is enough detail for someone more knowledgeable than myself. Thanks!

tough to tell the dimensions but I'd almost say a type of stargazer as well.

If memory serves correct, easily over a foot long. Probably somewhere between 12-18 inches visible.
