Plain Fin Midshipmen. Cool in a really ugly and creepy way. Mike

That looks like a Manta Shrimp. if so be cautious around their front mandibles they pack a punch.
I ate one in Thailand and it was delicious.

Midshipman- those "tattoo" spots are bioluminescent (glow in the dark)

I caught one out there a couple of years ago, if I remember correctly it had some sort of rattlesnake type fangs as well. Shook it off the hook quickly as it was such a strange looking fish. Went home and researched and it was claimed to be excellent table fare.
