Spinecheek Anemonefish

More from the Coral Sea - this is a Spinecheek Anemonefish (Premnas biaculeatus)

I like these two views of this highly photogenic fish - I think the Spinecheek is even better than the traditional Clown Anemonefish in terms of subject.

Lets see - F22, 1/125, ASA100, strobes 1/2 + 1/2 I believe (maybe 1/2+1/4), Fuji S2Pro. Aqautica Housing, etc, etc...

There are more Spinecheeks to enjoy at the DSI Spinecheek Anemonefish Gallery

Enjoy,

Excellent lighting on the fish in both shots. That looks like a smaller male (the females are bigger and darker) btw.

There is a distracting white coral in each of the shots in the foreground which I would have tried to shoot around. But sometimes, yeah, you just can't, I know.

Cheers

I am cropping the coral out for prints of these. These are full frame images thankfully.

You are right - happy to get these guys in focus and posing :-)
