Does anyone have any idea? It's about an inch and a half long right now and out of the SE Florida waters.

Very inquisitive fish, what they lack in color and flair they make up for with personality. I used to dive on some oyster reefs daily as part of an internship and these guys would follow me around and eat small copepods that I stirred up. By the end of the internship I probably had a small pack of 20-30 that would follow me around :D

Yep, that's him. Thanks and great story! He bounces around all over the tank and looks comically disproportioned with his chubby cheeks.

It's a shame they aren't more colorful, they would make a great nano fish!

No doubt. His coloring (or lack of) has gotten more distinct as he's grown.
