Individus assez étrange de part ses ponctuations noires sur l'intégralité de la face supérieure. Je n'ai pas à ma connaissance de sources qui parlent d'individus de cette espèce ayant ce trait particulier de caractère.

At end of late afternoon solo snorkel,into twilight, a few of these suddenly appeared 'out of nowhere' as I was about to exit.I guess they had emerged from where they were buried fully in the shallow sand for most of the day, to feed at dusk. Depth 30-40 cm, and they'd only appear for a few seconds following each little swell's shore break. Viz would drop to zero when each wave hit the steep beach but then clear just enough for imaging before next little 'dumper'.

Spotted near the surface, close to the shoreline. The black mesh is my glove which I used as background to provide contrast. Whenever the fish was close to my hand, it chose to rest against the fabric and almost "play dead". There are hair-thin needles jutting out of the head and tail and a slight bluish kind of refraction on some of the scales. Suppose it's a larva stage of developement.
