At last

I've taken dozens of photos of this fish in the last 4 weeks.  None of them were in focus until today.  So, finally, I can share the reef triggerfish with you.  Its Hawaiian name is humuhumu nukunuku apua'a (made familiar to the world via the "little grass shack" song of 50 or 60 years ago.)

This species grows to about 10 inches, and they are always fun to encounter.  They strike me as modern art with fins.
