We're pretty sure we've figured this one out, but I'd like some supporting (or otherwise) opinions.
He was probably less than 3 inches long. I found him on a night dive behind Sunrise Motel on Hood Canal. One of our camera diffusers had fallen off so I had to monkey with two of the pix big time just to get an image at all. That's why they look so weird. But after lots of study and discussion, we've settled on a probably-juvenile Plainfin Midshipman. What do you folks think?
Again, sorry for the quality of some of the pix. I did the best I could with Photoshop.
Confirmation Please?
