The humu, for short, is a very small fish with a very long name. It can be held in the palm of the hand. It's found in the song "My Little Grass Shack," so most tourists are exposed to it at one time or another. I'm guessing, but that may be why it became the state fish. Everyone's heard of it. We don't have so very many of them left, but fishermen used to be fond of them. Except for the 2 red squares in the black part, the red should be orange. It's a pretty little thing.

Pua`a means pig. I should have said that in my first comment.

It's a great image! My brother visited Hawai'i several years ago and he has a shirt with this fish and it's name on it. Thank you for the education!

Could not finish. Could not see the image even though I was very close to finishing.

Nicely done. Excellent puzzle.

I'm trying to solve the bottom left green without just intuitive guessing. I can figure pretty much where it should go from looking at it, but logically it seems way too deep to not be called guessing.
