  1. ??? Perhaps the bands at the tail identify this one? I'm guessing Malacoctenus triangulatus, aka saddled blenny.

    You're right about the bands on the tail being diagnostic. The last red band makes it Enneanectes pectoralis, the redeye triplefin.

    A belated thanks, Les! It's funny how having only a 90mm lens with me spurred a new interest in little critters -- but I have a lot of learning to do! I appreciate your guidance.
