A few days ago, I posted a photo of a common bigeye, a fish that tends to hang out in recesses in the rocks. The yellowstripe squirrelfish is a similar creature. I see them occasionally, but they’re down in holes and recede even farther when I appear. This one lingered momentarily before sinking out of sight. They’re more often seen in deeper water, but not if you’re a snorkeler.
Love the colors and patterns!

Thanks, Donna. It’s a colorful, if shy fish.

Thanks, Jo. I like them too, the way they echo the fish’s markings.
