Phantom Velvetfish

Just wondering if this is the name of this critter? Been led to believe it is but can't find any written reference to it in the ten or so ID books I have, come to think of it I can't find the damn thing at all !!

Cheers,

Mark.

P.S This is a stills grab from Z1U Video Footage

Scott,

Indeed this was in Palau. I'm working on a Muck Diving project here with some astonishing critters. All will be revealed soon. Thanks for the input. I have since found more reference to the critter online and indeed it is what I expected.

Thanks mate,

Mark.
