The Polkadot Batfish (Ogcocephalus cubifrons) is one of my favorites, with priceless facial expressions...

Does he have a bad attitude or did you scare off his dinner?

I'd seen this type of batfish: http://www.seaworld.org/wild-world/safari/virtual-aquarium/batfish.htm but never heard of the one in your photo. Where do they hang out? When I first saw it I thought it as a doctored photo with the little "feet" sticking out. (and the Uncle Ricky smile on its face)
