The old bait and switch! That would be a great mission, I have a lot of photos with organisms using camouflage--I've been trying to make sure to add it as a tag to each one. Also, I uploaded another series just of the sea urchin, if you want to try to ID that one.
I was drawn to your photo by the urchins - when I was looking at them to ID , I noticed the fish. We should start a new mission for Camouflage!
