Comments : Shiner perch are often very hard to get a good photograph of,
because they hover right on the bottom, meaning to get a good lateral
view, you have to bury yourself in the sand, and by the time you bury
yourself, they've moved on. Still, this one is only slightly too high,
and at least gives you an idea of what they look like. This one was in
about 40 feet of water on a night dive. Beside him is a blackeyed
Hermit Crab.
