On a night dive this past Friday our divers found what looks like an Oyster Toadfish. The photos, taken by Pam S. are posted in the photo gallery http://www.scubaboard.com/gallery/showgallery.php/cat/500/ppuser/140523[/URL]. The question is, if the ID is correct, they are not supposed to be in the area as far as I can tell. Any thoughts?

Reason: add photos
Wherever you go, there you are.
(In other words, no whining!) If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn't sit for a month.

After some more searching about on the net, I'm starting to think that it is a Gulf Toadfish. Still not a native to the area, but only 300 or so miles from home.
My wife took this photo yesterday at Paso del Cedral in Cozumel.
As far as we can tell it is an Oyster Toadfish but maybe someone can enlighten us?
She was looking for Splendid Toadfish at the time but spotted this!
