It certainly appears that my identification was incorrect - several
helpful comments from those far more experienced than I suggest I saw
Plumed Scorpionfish, Scorpaena grandicornis.  My hours long search of
the web had not turned this up.  I was diverted by the tassles which in
the Caribbean species are called plumes!  I certainly appreciate the
responses and apologize for alarming those who fear yet another invasive
species!
