This is a turretfish.
It has a bony exoskeleton, free moving fins and tail.
Its body is covered with stars tightly packed.
Waves wash the turretfish onto the tideline. They dry and harden in the sun.
It has very very sharp and pointy dorsal spines, a fact you may consider when removing one embedded in your foot.
Sharper than a bindii.

I just got home from my get away,came home sat night.but got lazy and just enjoyed being home for two days.and today Iam cleaning house.
I dusted and did some other stuff I needed to do.
God bless have a great week.:)
What a beautiful fish. I love the stars!
And, as with most things of beauty, it has those sharp bits!
So, are you saying this fish was in your foot?! I hope not!
Yes, I had a fish stabbed into my foot. They hurt.
It is odd, having a fish stuck into your foot, but there you are.
Noone else seems to have this problem. I have a collection of three I have yanked out of my feet. they are only little, but sharp.
And hard.
Something so evil can be so cute. It looks like it has been designed by Disney.
it's so wonderful to visit blogs and learn something new!
