Filament-finned stinger

Zo herken je het

• Body colour is dull yellow, grey, brown or rust, with light blotches that match the seabed1
• Skin has no scales along most of the body, but is covered in venomous spines and wart-like glands, giving a knobby look1
• Flattened, concave head, with the eyes, mouth and nostrils projecting upwards and outwards1
• Caudal (tail) fin has dark bands at its base and near its tip1
• Two pectoral fin rays are detached and angled downwards, and are used like legs1

Vaak verward met: It is often confused with Inimicus sinensis, which is nearly identical. The key difference is on the underside of the pectoral fins: the black bands of this species are faint, while those of I. sinensis have yellow spots.1
