I was doing a bit of picture hunting for the Better Left in the Ocean – Bluespot Jawfish article we wrote and I came across some photos I’ve never seen before. They are of some gorgeous and out of this world bluespot jawfish (Opistognathus rosenblatti).
Just see for yourself how gorgeous they are…

Clearly one is all yellow with blue spots while the other has a yellow head, white body, and black tail. There’s even a bit of green on its dorsal fin. Just amazing.
