Those are beautiful! I've never seen the Hawaiian version. Thanks for sharing

I don't think that picture was taken in Hawaii Walter....unless Catherine knows of a secret hiding spot

You would know, I've never been to Hawaii. I know it's not from the Caribbean.

yours was a logical statement Watson

It was an assumption and we all know assumptions can cause trouble.

gotta get my pic in.....those guys are hard to capture, maybe cause they are blue and not enough contrast for autofocus. Also, they are nervous fish.

at risk of being ultra-pedantic I don't think these are a true Chromis but rather one of the closely related Pomacentrus or Chrysiptera species maybe Chrysiptera hemicyanea. Its a cracking shot - these little damsles are very difficult - especially if there's a coral head nearby.

hey cohorts!...I think I took it in Palau..


I wish we could start a "fish behaviour" thread about their personalities, how to stalk them, for photos, etc.

deduction, not assumption ...lol

Based on our talk yesterday I started this thread
