- Did some cropping and increased the focus

I love the ocellaris clownfish being hosted by an anemone. I find their symbiotic relationship is engrossing and natural, just like in the ocean. In my picture, you can see that the clownfish is looking directly at the anemone like it really means something to the clownfish.

Hope this picture looks great since this is my first time taking a nice picture and applying some edits lol.

I have to say that these really are some great photos of beautiful fish! The selection process is going to be a very difficult one, for sure!

this was taken Before my pink spotted watchman goby has his current shrimp BFF. These two always enjoyed each others company. Unfortunately the angel passed shortly after this photo due to a heater malfunction :( BUT the goby is still kickin! He’s been named “Sheriff” because he’s always watching everyone else in the tank while letting his shrimp buddy make a mess in the sand.

taken with iPhone 7 with some adjustments

- Camera: LG V40.
- Macro setting.
- Yellow filter, No flash.

I chose my Sailfin Tang. He a rescue fish. The previous owner had him living with a Trigger fish who was harassing him. He was really beat up when I got him. No tail fin, just a nub. His dorsal fin was chomped to about half the normal size. I wanted to capture his face. I love macro shots. No matter how bad he was bullied hes still the happiest and most friendliest fish in the tank. The photo shows him hangin' with my goby.

Here is my entry. This guy has a ton of attitude and is always staring me down when I'm watching my tank. He can really flare up his fins to show how super tough he is. Enjoy!
