The Gafftop Catfish lives in the saltwater of the Gulf of Mexico. It is easily identifiable by the spike on their dorsal fin that sticks up like the sail of a ship. The Gafftop Catfish is known as the Crucifix Fish because the skeletal head resembles a crucifixion. There are ‘stones’ inside the skeleton that rattle when the skeleton is shaken. The Roman Soldiers threw dice gambling for Christ’s garments. The rattle resembles the sound of the dice. When turned over, the skeleton resembles a Roman shield. This one measures 3.5 inches.
