What are you looking at?

Stocky hawkfish are known as po‘opa‘a in Hawaiian. This tough looking fish was spotted around the coral reefs of Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument. As an added level of protection, a stocky hawkfish’s pectoral fins are resistant to the stinging cells of fire corals, which normally harm other organisms upon contact. Well played, hawkfish. Well played.(Photo: James Watt/NOAA. Image description: A close-up of a stocky hawkfish.)
