I saw it at the fish store and forgot to take a picture of it’s name. The bottom fins behaved like legs and it was using them to “walk” on the sand. It was so cool. Can anyone ID this fish for me?

It's a frogfish, also known as an angler; it's an ambush predator. Maybe an antennatus nummifer, also known as a coinbearing frogfish.
