This blackspotted puffer (Arothron nigropunctatus) appears to have chosen an odd perch. It may have been looking for a cleaning from some gobies that were in the area. The feathery crinoids seen in the background are ubiquitous in New Guinea and assume a vast range of colors. Crinoid arms can be quite sticky, and clumsy divers may find their wetsuits decorated with one or more animals upon returning to the boat. "Wewak and Madang", Papua New Guinea August 20, 2005
