SCUBA Divers Info:
Beautiful or comical I can't really decide but this fish is striking. Obviously identified by the structures on the head, a big specimen might be a foot long. Probably spends most of its day in a crevice coming out at night.
Beachwalkers Info:
This animal does not inhabit the intertidal zone so you are very unlikely to find it beachwalking or tidepooling.
