Dactyloptena orientalis
Oriental Flying Gurnard, AKA Helmet Gurnard, spotted at the Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. This spot is not the best snorkeling spot on Oahu, but it has the greatest biodiversity of any place on the island. We have seen over 100 different species of marine life at this park, over a period of approximately 4.5 years.

Beauty !
Fun one, right? And for some reason, I have seen this fish (or one of this species) at this same spot early in the morning several times.
What a cool fish!
