Wow, really cool fish! It is so striking, I can't believe it has never been classified before. Must be rare or inaccessible. Wish I could see the whole body.

Pong anyone?

Thanks for the link Tony. It doesn't live in a very clean reef with glass jars down there. It is interesting how it curls its tail in, making it more rounded so it bounces along like a piece of floatsam.

They say we haven't discovered half of what is in the ocean, especially in that area.
