Pineapple Fish   Cleidopus gloriamaris

First dive in some time last weekend where I found this Pineapple fish, relatively uncommon around Sydney, they are regulars on this particular divesite.  They are heavily armoured and have a bio luminescent patch below the mouth.  They spend the day benaeath overhangs. 

The specific name means glory of the seas.

Great detail and a very nice close view. Love hearing stories about your underwater finds too.

No doubting how it got its name, Chris, and you've captured beautiful detail on this one!
