Best of Mike #84

One of my very favorites.... a Juvenile Spotted Drumfish.

Named so because ... as an adult their markings will have changed to include spots.

And, by beating their abdominal muscles against their swim bladder.... they are able to make a sound very much like a drum.

In their juvenile stage they are small, wispy and graceful.... almost like a feather with eyes and gills.
