Great pics all, my initial thought when I saw the theme was my old aviatar shot but Alcina has it so much better - enjoy your Easter dives.

Enjoy :)

[fairybasslet]

Well, I never saw those nudis before so I'm glad you recycled them.;)

Great shots, everyone! Especially the frogfish!

These two nudis are in love....

This mated pair are two different species. One is an orange finned, and the other is a white bonnet (actually this is a hybrid between a orange finned and the orange anemonefish). The resulting hybrids are.....?

EVIL! I had no idea that clownfish were so territorial ... I must've gotten bit a half-dozen times ... usually by clownfish "defending" an anemone I wasn't even that close to.

Little b****rds ... next time I watch "Finding Nemo" I'm rootin' for the barracuda ...
