The one that is labeled as a purple fish is my photo. I posted that exact photo 25 days ago, it is not a purple fish, it is a decorated warbonnet and whoever posted it snagged it from me. If you search for #Stichaeidae my photo pops up first.

Three monkeyface pickleback fish in an aquarium with small rock underneath them. Two of the fish are dark in color and one is white with gray stripes.

A decorated warbonnet fish peeking out of a rock tunnel with cirri all over its head and its mouth slightly open in what appears to be a frown. A little bit of orange cup coral is right in front of it, and there is pink algae on the rocks.

Three eel-like fish bunched together; the largest and most visible is light colored with dark stripes on their face, the other two are darker but with the same striping. They are in an aquarium with small rocks at the bottom.

Happy Monday with some monkeyface prickleback fish at the Oregon Coast Aquarium
