Return of the Mystery Fish



Today I'm re-publishing a mugshot: Return of the Mystery Fish for as of yet, no one has left a comment identifying this little blue and yellow fellow. Please ID him if you can!

Yes, naturally I learned my lesson after I had neglected to add Mystery Fish's name to the back of the paper so I've made certain ever since that each fish I draw has both its common and Latin names penciled on back before any portrait is complete - though technically, this drawing has a missing bit toward the fish's tail - have a go @ spotting it if you can!

Found: new deep water coral!


And this little mystery fish--a drawing I did in 1996 (original is appr 18"x22"--this is a scan of a photo I've just relocated)--unidentified specimen though he may be--is happy to hear some very cool news circa 2007:


Researchers have made an exciting discovery several thousand feet below the sea near Honolulu: new deep water coral including lemon-yellow bamboo coral and a giant sponge!

Samples have been taken for DNA analysis, and I'm pretty psyched about it, how 'bout you?
