This fascinating fly with luminous green eyes was fixated on some freshly varnished wood. Still unsure what type of fruit fly it is.

The Trumpetfish is such a ridiculous looking creature, they always make me smile. They are masters of color change as well, shading from brown, reddish, orange, and bright yellow. They often drift head-down like this, especially when hanging out in clumps of soft coral. 🦑 #scuba #diving #oceans
