From the large spines on the dorsal fins, it looks like its venomous. With the ridges and texture on the body, it looks like some kinda scorpionfish, but I might be wrong (most likely wrong la, I is noob to marine fish :o ), so don't quote me on that hahaha.

But better play safe and not handle it with bare hands until some kind senior reefer IDs it :ooh:

This seems to be a Whiteface Waspfish, Paracentropogon longispinus, a type of Scorpion fish. Poisonous spines. Surely no bare hands in the tank.

photos of other specimens here and here.
