Local spots?

  

We saw a lot of beautiful fish in Hawaii this one is a Hawaiian White-spotted Toby (Canthigaster jactator).  

The Hawaiian White-spotted Toby is a member of the pufferfish family (Tetraodontidae) and is endemic to the Hawaiian Islands.  This is a small species, generally less than ~9 cm (~3.5 inches) long.

 

Eric did a great job documenting its amazing green eyes.  [You can click on the images for larger versions.]
