Field Notes

Description:

Juveniles are brown with large white blotches and have a strange undulating way of swimming, possibly mimicking poisonous flatworms as a means of camouflage.

Notes:

So difficult to have a clear pic of this beautiful creature. Too bad I was not able to shoot a video of its swimming style. Next time though :-)
