Comments : These are cool little fish, and they are all over Puget Sound.
However, most divers never see them. During the day, the like to hide
under solid structure and usually retreat into their den when
approached. At night, we will occasionally find them out on the hunt in
the open. They are very flighty and spook very easily, so getting pics
of them is tough. When spooked, they can quickly dart away quickly for
cover. These gunnels are often confused with Crescent Gunnels.
