notes: label: Notes
content: In July 2022, specimen was identified by Bruce Mundy and Jonathan Whitney. N. curvarostis seems unlikely based on pigment (ligher and less pigment than this specimen); N. scolopachus is too dark; confident on genus. Confident on genus and not 100% on species, would benefit of comparing to other specimens. UPDATE: specimen was identified as Nemichthys scolopaceus by Matt Girard.
