Nemo & Friends

Clown or Anemone fish are hard subjects to photograph generally because they don't stay still to pose. Most come out blurry or Nemo has ducked back into the safety of the anemone host's tentacles. The name "Nemo" has become synonymous with the clown/anemone fish since the Disney animated movie "Finding Nemo".



An angelfish (I have not ID this yet) and a beauty.



Grumpy looking turtle that was flanked by yours truly on its left, and another diver on its right. Kept going round in circles until we had our fill of taking its photos and allowed it to disappear into the blue.



Another clown/anemone fish staring out at me from its bubble anemone host. This is the Tomato Clown and one of the larger, fiercer anemone fish. It will not hesitate to charge out if you get too close. Such small defender does you no physical harm directly but the shock of having it defend its host so vigourously can take you aback.


I have no external strobe at this point and having a lot of suspended particles in the water, there are noticeable backscatter that I chose not to digitally edit out.
