Id Non-Aquarium Fish?

I dare to post here simply because this guy was not spotted in a tank, but off the southern coast of Brazil, not far from Rio de Janeiro.
Any idea of what that is?

That thing looks insanely cool I have to admit...

Yeah, I couldn't believe it was a fish at first. I said, come on, it's an anchor or something! It was about 20-25 cm.  It didn't move a bit while I went around taking pics. I showed it later to the diving master, but he just told me the local name of it.

Yeee, I got it!!
 
Ogcocephalus nasutus.
 
Thanks to FishBase!

I like the common name better: shortnose batfish! 
 
And strangely, it is kept in aquariums. Looks like it gets about the size of a common pleco.
