These lovely little fish dart about on reef structures, often upside down. Fairy basslets are somewhat wary, and often disappear into reef recesses when approached. The front end is bluish purple and the rear is golden, and they have a black spot on their dorsal fin.
Three inches is their maximum size. They occur down to 200 feet (not that I dive anywhere near that deep). These photos were taken at depths from 35 to 50 feet.
Try to figure out which way they are facing.
