It's Winter time - you know you're a diver when you're scraping ice off your windshield INSIDE your vehicle...!

Just in time for the holidays!!
This critter comes in a variety of different colors: browns, grays, whites, blues, reds, pinks, and yellows! Very festive indeed! And keeping in the holiday spirit, this critter has odd manners like your weird oldest relative at the holiday dinner table, covering its gills in a sticky mucus to trap nutritious food to be funneled down to its mouth!

Creature Feature 59
Keeping with Dive_Girl's holiday theme....
This ornate creature can grow up to 7" in length and is often seen in saltwater aquaria but is native to Hawaii, Johnston Island, and Central Polynesia. It has two English common names (as far as what you'll see tossed around in fish and aquarium guides), and THREE Hawaiian names. One of the common names is inspired by its holiday-inspired coloration, even though, in truth, this species is a pretender to this name, there being another species that can claim this common name legitimately. In addition to this noted coloration, the defining characteristics for identifying this species from similar ones is the small vertical black mark just behind its eye. It is naturally a bottom dweller, particularly in sandy areas with coral rubble and small stones.
