It thought I had a bad day photographing Sara's fish, but it's turning out that I got a couple of decent shots. Here is Sara's powder blue hybrid. I'm not sure what it's a hybrid with. I'm sure Sara can give more detail on that. It's very young and hasn't fully developed whatever blue its body is going to show in adulthood, but it's still a very striking fish.

WOW, love the photo Gary!

The PBT came from Bali and is thought to be a (Acanthurus cf leucosternon x Acanthurus nigricans) hybrid.

Gary, looks like the selection took something out below the mouth and the area where the dorsal fin meets the tail.

Beautiful fish! The color is unique.

Parka,
Good catch. I had to burn in a couple of lighter areas in the background and just selected the black and did a blanket burn. I didn't notice the selection caught some of the fish. Thanks for pointing it out. It's fixed now.

Some have other wild theories about it ;)

Great pic Gary!
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
