Can anyone please identify this fish?:) I've look into the Acanthopsis genus but I'm not entirely sure if either one matches this one on the picture. This picture is owned by a fellow member in MFK.;)

Thanks.:D

I'll wait for his response. The owner lives in Australia although he said he saw these fish in Japan.

Thanks for the ID, guys.:D
