This little silverside (Menidia menidia) had trapped itself under a small rock in an almost completely drained tidepool. It was probably running from striped bass or bluefish at high tide, and opted for a rocky grave rather than be eaten. There were more of them around, head down between little rocks with no way to escape once there was no water. All that we found were dead, except this one, which my son released into the open water.
These are a beautiful little fish with very translucent flesh. It almost looks fake when you look at it closely, with its silvery internal lateral line and bright white gut and gills showing through. Distinct outlines on it's back define its scales and layers of blue, green and purple flash as light refracts off it's mirror-like cheeks.
