Desecheo Island - Juv Smooth Trunkfish

I almost swam right past this little dude the other day...

He was about the size of a golf ball. Shockingly, I got a decent shot!

Aren't those little buggers cute! They don't seem to have any control where they swim/drift and that tiny little tail tends to be more or less constantly pointing where current is going. Very hard to capture as they are quite shy. My gf has a great eye finding juvenile boxfishes. If only I'd for once could frame one as good as this one
