I think you are right, I could get a good picture of him because of the surge had me confused because clintons picture has a lot more red in it.

 

[mweitz]

Yeah. I've seen them with more color variation than one of his photos, but they are generally reddish (the ones I've seen) and maybe a bit narrower with more finnage on top.

You may want to check with Chuck or Clinton or post the photo on the N. Cal board.

I'd go with some kind of kelpfish (although I've never seen any up here in B.C.) This is a kelp greenling:

Wonder if he meant a Painted Greenling. It could be. It is just so hard to tell from that angle ...
