Dragon wrasse - Novaculichthys taeniourus

This small dragon wrasse seemed convinced he blended in so well with a small clump of algae, he couldn't be seen. He sat perfectly still for several photos before realizing he had been spotted. Juvenile Novaculichthys taeniourus vary in color from shades of green to lavender, matching the color of the predominate algae in the area. 35mm
