The Humuhumukununukuapua'a sleeps on its side at night. Hawaii does not have an official state fish. I love these fishes. The humuhumu has an almost iridescent lavender ring around his lips. The color is so striking. And it's because of those lips that he is MY favorite Hawaiian fish. Official or not! TB Hawaiian Fish Lip Authority
