Web Burrfish





Today we found a web burrfish out in the open. This species is related to the porcupinefish, and will inflate if molested. When I tried to photograph it, it swam slowly away. I tried to get ahead of it, and it kept turning. So I decided to stop, and then the fish stopped. Eventually, it let me move along side it, and take photos from several perspectives. Quite an interesting fish.
