Yep I call them a grinner fish as well... Down south they eat them

but then again they eat sharks and mullet

There are a few similar looking fish called,gobby (SP) and a star gaizer but they are more in the mud and not on the reef.

Monkey fish....But I have heard of them called by various other names as mention above.

Managed to jig one up on a metal lure the other week, while waiting for the tuna to come on the bite
