How do you recognize him?Not a fantastic photo.. but the story is very cool...
First time I photograhed Stumpy was in April of 2021. I shot him for about 14 months then he disappeard. I was bummed. He had a following of sorts on a local social media page. Every time I dived that location I would look for Stumpy, but nothing.
Earlier this summer, I saw Stumpy for the first time in over a year. I was overjoyed to say the least. Still a bit shy, but bigger.. Then he disappears again. Done a half dozen or more dives there. No Stumpy...
Till Yesterday. Stumpy is back. And not shy! Actually a bit agressive, chasing other fish and owning the reef!

There is no Stonefish in Hawaii. This can be Dwarf Scorpionfish.Juvenile stone or scorpion fish maybe
Correct! I forgot to come back and fix it later.There is no Stonefish in Hawaii. This can be Dwarf Scorpionfish.
I always check cauliflower corals when I see healthy ones, and they are almost always inhabited. Besides small crabs, one common tenant is Hawaiian Green Lionfish. But I do not know what juveniles look like.Correct! I forgot to come back and fix it later.
Hmmm nevr thought of that..Do you have his story on Instagram? I’d love to follow!
