not an aquarium fish but i spotted this fish washed up on ballyheigue beach the weekend before last,the pic doesn't do it justice,it was pure white with a light pink shade on its back and was about 10 to 12 in long,i have done a fair bit of sea angling in my time and some unusal fish seem to arrive on our shores every year but this is a new one for me,any ideas guys,the pic was taken on my phone hence the poor quality[img

I concur, it must be an Irish sun fish, hence the white skin and going pink in the sun :lol:
really I haven't a clue, but looks nice

I don't have a clue, but it's definitely not a sun fish.
