The Bandit's Fish

[gparr]

Last week, during my trip to Tampa, I had the privilege of visiting Mark Iltis (Coral Bandit) and photographing his reef. He has some beautiful anthias, but the highlight was his Comet. I couldn't get enough shots of that fish. Here are some of the shots I did. There are a few more in the Animals section of my website, PmWiki | Main / Welcome to gparr.com. I'll start another thread for the coral photos.
