It's a small world! Tessekullar for the identification from my Turkce arkadaslar! Sorry about mixing languages, but I only know how to speak 'bebek Turkce'. :-) Carol

The first comment from a sea biologist Baki Yokes who is prof. about marine life and the third comment from Merdan Egilli who lives in Diyarbakir and my friend :)

Lagocephalus suezensis from Red Sea Lagocephalus sceleratus has regularly shaped almost circular dark brown dots on a uniformly light brown coloured background

This is probably a silverstripe blaasop (Lagocephalus sceleratus), a Lessepsian migrant. In Turkish it is called "balon balýðý" (baloon fish) or "kurbaða balýðý" (frog fish).

Yes it is from red sea,a relative to baloon fish.
