Best of Mike #296

He's there if you look closely.

A Sharpnose Pufferfish, in amongst the stalks of a Purple Stovepipe Sponge.

He's wee, two or three inches long when full grown but this guy is a juvenile and quite a bit smaller than that. 

They are generally solitary. They say they "swim" about the reefs and  seagrass beds. But I am going to tell you that that swimming is much more of a "darting about".... making them a challenging subject to photograph, even though they are quite plentiful.
