This cute little fellow showed up on a shipment from Tampa Bay Saltwater a few weeks ago and this is the first time I've been able to get a decent shot of 'im because of all the bits of rock and shell he covers himself with. Pic is cell phone crappy, but I can whip out my DSLR if a better pic is needed. Is this a pincushion?

He's a shade of pale mauve/purple in daylight and only about the size of a dime, couple centimeters at most.

If he's a pincushion, sadly he'll outgrow my tank. But for now he can be his adorable little self and I'll pamper him with a bit of nori. :face-blowing-a-kiss:
