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.]
OMG, what a stunning creature!!
