Field Notes

Description:

Scribbled Filefish, AKA Scrawled Filefish, hanging out about 30' off the reef near Kahe Point (Electric Beach) on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. t was funny to watch this guy, when I approached him for a photo he swam to the bottom and went skimming across the ocean floor on his side like a flounder!
