This is a specimen from a large reef aquarium containing living corals. It's a bit shy so despite the strong overhead illumination (necessary to facilitate photosynthesis in corals & other plant life) I had to use flash as it stayed near bottom under a head of coral.

The contrast between fish and dark surroundings is striking. :cool:

Hi Des,

Good to see some underwater photography on this forum lately! It sure is colourful fish and as Justin mentioned, contrast between it and dark water is striking.

Cheers,
Marko
