Best of Mike #350

This is a Pygmy Filefish.... another of the new quests from our Bonaire trip.

They are wee.... only 2-4” in length.

Their coloring is blotched shades of tan, brown and yellow.... but they can change color to match their surroundings.

They like to inhabit shallow sand, rubble and seagrass areas with soft bottoms.

The young in particular will hide themselves in amongst the soft corals. 

Which means that photographing them can be a game of hide and seek.
