This didn't happen today. This happened about a week ago. As everybody knows there are fish that are transparent. The other day I saw one that is virtually invisible. If it weren't for his eyeball it would have not been noticed at all. This little guy was only about 2 inches long. Most fish that are transparent are pretty easily seen once you are aware that they are there. There bodies are just slightly accented with color and a hint more on their internal organs. However, this little guy was completely invisible with the exception of his eyeball. If it weren't for the reflection of the light (which could only been seen on the most outward edge of his fins) he would be completely invisible. No coloration on the skin or internals. Only a black dot for the eye and a slight reflection. Imagine taking a piece of clear fishing line and cutting it into 3 very small pieces. Put a dot with a pencil on a piece of glass (not a circle, just a dot) then place the 2 pieces of virtually invisible pieces of fishing line where the outermost edge of the fins and a much smaller piece on the tail then submerge it.   Often times when diving you can see the transparent fish (usually more so on night dives) but to see one this clear was a rare and memorable moment. He was in 400ft of water on a platform that has produced its last barrel of oil. Also at this location is the highest population of Lion Fish that I have ever run across. (WC 648, in case someone desires to look it up) I will be trying to find a photo of this virtually invisible fish but I can say it will probably be quite difficult being that it was almost impossible to see even with the bare eye. He was not visible through the dive camera which is attached to dive helmets. The eyeball is so small that even with our HD camera it was incapable of seeing on the surface screen.Lion Fish
 If anybody should happen upon a photo of a transparent (almost invisible) fish that resides in the Gulf of Mexico, please paste it so I can identify this little guy. 4951
