Some amalgamation of dot-and-dash and spotbanded butterfly fish... I have loads of these hybrid pictures if anyone is interested.

These may be the only live photos of this rare endemic Hawaiian pipefish. It was found in shallow water a few feet deep in weed right in front of the Waikiki Aquarium by one of the aquarium staff, photographed in a tank (by me), and then returned to the reef. It is so rare that even the famed ichthyologist Dr. John E Randall, who dived and collected fish in Hawaii for over 50 years, writes that he never saw one.

Here was a new find for me... this fringhead showing off some type of false eyespot. Unknown if it's a mating display or otherwise.

I think this may be a hybrid of Lutjanus kasmira and L. fulvus due to brown stripes. Location obscured to project fishing spot. General location is south shore Oahu.

Usually partially buried in clean sand in shallow water close to shore along beaches with moderate wave action, difficult to see.

ID with help from Milton Love and Jack Engle at University of California, Santa Barbara. Overall length about 3cm. Very shy. 5-6 individuals observed in crevices at around 50-60’ depth in the dive park at Catalina Island. Possibly a range extension for this species. This was the only image I was able to capture that was worthwhile.

Chub with horizontal yellow stripes, schooling with opaleye and zebra perch. Best guess is blue-bronze chub (Kyphosus vaigiensis).
