Field Notes

Description:

Yellow-green body with red head and three red dashed (more like splotched) horizontal lines.

Habitat:

Shallow tropical waters

Notes:

This fish was very shy, liked the bottom and didn't stay long in any one spot. Since colors are more pale then iridescent, it was hard to photograph.
