Congratulations Marek, you Threespot Squirrelfish is our Spotting of the Day:
"Check out the eyes of this Threespot squirrelfish (Sargocentron cornutum), our Spotting of the Day! Squirrelfish (subfamily Holocentrinae) are mostly nocturnal, and have relatively large eyes. The preopercle spines (found near the gill-opening) in the genus Sargocentron are venomous, and can inflict painful wounds".
