I want that li'l fella for my aquarium. I suppose they're endangered, or something.
Puts me in mind of my ex-wife's best friend, who defined her vegetarianism by saying, "I won't eat anything with a face."
I like the hexagonal patterns! This fish definitely has a "who're you looking at, bub?" vibe.
