I have only seen a few of these in my diving in the Pacific Northwest, and until recently the ones I have seen have been is really difficult spots to try and get a decent photo… which is a shame, becuase these little guys are just such oddball fish. Such a weird shape, such an interesting pattern… maybe not as instantly cute as a Lumpie, but still a cool fish!
