Few Pics of Clowns & Nems From Fiji

Here are few of our friends in the wild. I spent two weeks in Fiji for work and got to dive three days.

That's so cool. It makes me want to learn to dive so when I finally have a chance to see something like this I can.

Here is a few more. These pics were in 6'-12' of water. Snorkling was just as good as diving.

I thought that when I saw them. I couldn't get close enough to count the spines.:lmao:

Here is where we dove. You can see a small channel in the center of the pic.

Great pictures. As a fan of biotope aquariums, I love seeing images of clownfish in the wild.

Interesting to see that BTAs don't constantly retain all their bubbles in the wild, either...that should reassure anemone-keepers.

I was very happy to see no bubbles in the wild. I have four BTAs and only one has ever had anything resembling a bubble.

I wish I had more pics of clowns/nems. There were some spots with 20+ clowns and 10' of nems.

That would just be amazing to see. What kind of camera did you use?

Where did you travel to to be able to see these. I wanted to travel to FIJI. I want to be sure to see some clowns.

WOW! We went snorkeling in Hawaii, but we didn't see anything near that beautiful. Not very many corals. Mostly tangs and triggers.
