Here’s my submission. I’m no professional photographer, but since this is the first one I can participate in I’m giving it a shot. Taken with a good ol’ iPhoneX. Zero editing other than the blur
3.5” powder brown tang

Well, why not contribute ;)

Here’s a photo of my Richmonds wrasse. Lol I was told she was a six line when I bought her, I’m glad she turned out to be a Richmonds. She’s already making the change into male and flashing at her reflection often nowadays. Can’t wait to see it all take place :)

Not sure I’m allowed to post twice. But this ones just to share. This is my lawnmower blenny, “Tony”. It’s my dads fish; apparently his name is from Seinfeld lol

Photo was taken during a dive trip on the Great Barrier Reef. After every meal we would rinse our plates over the side of the boat. I got some cool shots of the feeding frenzies that ensued. Apparently this guy didn't like his picture being taken.

This is Boba, the Exquisite Fairy Wrasse and Orkin, the Vroliks Wrasse. These are my favorite of my fish, and they are both so fast that I can never get a picture of them. I was lucky enough to get one, so I thought it was amazing that I captured them together. I used an iPhone 11 Pro Max In natural light/ portrait mode. I used the stock ios editor on the iPhone to adjust the focus to 1.4 and the warmth to 63.
