Odontodactylus havanensis [Odontodactylus havanensis]
Description
Divers may encounter this species in areas with plenty of hiding spots—think ledges, crevices, and rocky substrates. When it’s active, it can appear as a quick flash of motion, then a still, watchful posture as it guards its home. Its vivid appearance and alert behavior make it a favorite for photographers and patient observers.
