Invisible fish caught on film

This was taken several days ago. Sabina spotted this fish and Paul filmed it. I can't upload the video since we don't have the bandwidth for a file that large. Instead, here are a couple screen captures I grabbed from the video. It appears to be a juvenile flatfish. What is so cool is the fact that it's body is transparent with white spots on it. When the fish is against most things you would never even know it is there. It only shows up when it moves. In this image the tail is to the right and the eyes are the two brighter spots on the left.

juvenile flatfish, species unknown

Here is a second photo of the fish against the metal top of our tile carrier.  The lid is 6 inches square to give you some perspective on the size of the fish. The fish is just to the left of the center hole. The eyes of the fish are at the top.

If anyone knows what species this is, I would love to hear from you.

Here was tonight's sunset.
