Thanks for the complements everyone

The camera I used to take the picture was a Sony DSC-V1. No special lenses or anything like that just the one that comes attached to it.

Its scientific name is: Paracheilinus mccoskeri

Its common name is: McCosker's Flasher Wrasse

From what I've read, it will stay between 2-3 inches.

What a beauty! I can't seem to get any shots of my fish at attention (all fins). Great photography, too!

Could someone who has photoshop edit the picture and touch it up a little bit? I would really appreciate it.
