Anchinothria macrobranchiata [Anchinothria macrobranchiata]

Description

Divers may spot this species as a small, delicate-looking fish tucked into reef crevices or along rocky bottoms. Its presence is often subtle—look for a compact body and a slightly distinctive, more prominent gill area compared with similar anchinothriid fishes. With patience, it can appear briefly as it shifts position to feed or avoid open water.
