Diving at the Aliwal Shoal, RSA. I came across this guy. Only had a chance for a quick shot as it disappeared into some caves so picture isn't great. I now struggling to ID it, please help

Looks like a freshwater catfish to me. I am not very good on IDs of these - but like an overgrown Synodontis.

Hi Galeichthys sp known locally as Natal seacatfish. Quite common at Aliwal, I'm surprised that as of 1996 it was "newly identified" and "unnamed" I don't find a later source that gives a sp name.

I concur. Looks like 2 Oceans is the latest to name it. I'll check with UoD peeps.

Nice one.
I was thinking cat fish at one stage, but thought they were fresh water only.
Thank you
