Synodus intermedius
Photo take at -45 ft on a coral reef. Lizardfishes are generally small fish, although the largest species are about 60 cm long. They have slender, somewhat cylindrical bodies, and heads that resemble those of lizards. The dorsal fin is located in the middle of the back, and accompanied by a small adipose fin placed closer to the tail.They have mouths full of sharp teeth, even on the tongue.
They are found in tropical and subtropical marine waters throughout the world.They are bottom-dwelling fish, living in shallow coastal waters; even the deepest dwelling lizardfish lives in waters no more than 400 mt. Wikipedia
