Poor Gunnel
Sorry for the poor photo quality but does anyone know what's on this guys back? Some type of fungas maybe? He seemed pretty lively when I started getting too close.

I'm afraid I don't know - that purple-ish tinge to it looks similar to what the Blackbelly Eelpouts get, doesn't it?
Just looks ewwww.
