What's been spotted in Tasmania?

Epigonus telescopus (Black Deepsea Cardinalfish)

Caught this fish on the shelf east of eagle hawk neck. I have no idea what it may be or whether or not it is rare. I have done many fishing trips on the shelf without encountering these and other experienced fishermen hadn't seen it before either. Hopefully someone can ID it for me.
