Nice looking fish.

I'm amazed you haven't got any glare from the flash! Although I hope he isn't blind in one eye now!

Re: My Purple Tang... (fish)...

lol, well he's been swimming into everything recently (joke)

I used a macro lens, so was quite close to the glass, I normally shoot with the flash point upwards, as the tank has very bright ligthing anyway!

Nice fish, we used to have a yellow one, called Tommy ( Tang) !
I never did manage to get a picture of him, too fast for film......
