Author's comments:
Lo vimos en la playa de Claromecó, a unos 2km de la playa popular. Estaba entre algunas rocas de la zona intermareal, camuflándose entre los pequeños espacios con agua. Realmente fue difícil verlo ya que el camuflaje, aunque en la foto es bastante reconocible, cuando está entre las piedras es muy eficaz. Muy lindo encuentro y un pez que no posee muchos registros ni investigaciones asociadas.
