Balloonfish in Boynton Beach, Florida

Finally got my housing and camera back from repair, and getting back into the water to make sure all my equipment works properly before my next overseas trip...

I was lucky to find a very cooperative Balloonfish who posed in a barrel sponge, next to the barrel sponge and then in some nearby sea rods....

Here he is in the barrel sponge

What a nice catch. He has a "sparkle" in his eye. I like how that breaks up the monotone effect.
