Scrawled filefish are at their most scenic when they catch the light. The blue scribbles that cover their bodies glow with intensity. They’re a peculiar-looking fish with a flat body and long tail, and they can quickly change color to a camouflage pattern when needed.
In this photo, the two dorsal fins are visible. The forward one is just a thin spine which can be raised and lowered. The other one is very fine and often hard to see. In this photo it has a bit of a wave going on.

What a spectacular fish.

They’re strange looking fish, but when they catch the sunlight they’re amazing.

Another of Nature’s wonders. Looks like someone marked up the photo after the fact with a neon blue magic marker.

That’s exactly how they look in the water, when the sun catches them right.
