Calloplesiops [Calloplesiops]
Description
Calloplesiops are reef-associated fish that divers often notice as they cruise near caves, ledges, and sandy patches. Their streamlined bodies and subtle coloration make them blend in, but their alert, curious behavior can bring them into view during a slow swim.
