This fine fellow is a Spotted Drumfish.
Drumfish, you say.... this looks nothing like a drum.
And that is true, because they are named for the sound they make.... not the way they look.
This is an adult Spotted Drum but even so, they are not large.... typically 6-9 inches long.
During the day, you will find them under ledges or near the opening of small caves.... swimming in repetitive patterns.
They are a nocturnal feeder, leaving the protection of their ledge or hole only at night.... to feed.
