McCosker's Flasher Wrasse (Paracheilinus mccoskeri)

My latest wrasse. He was super tiny when I first got him but is now out and about and has a pretty good demeanor. Please excuse the "snow" in the picture I did not turn off the pumps.

I don't understand how to capture fish in photography. They just move too fast for me. x_x

DragKnee - Thanks. I helps to have a fast camera and good luck...lol. That one picture is one of about 20 I took. The great thing with digital is you can take as many as you need and cross your fingers...lol.

Whiterabbitrage - They are pretty big in person as well. It's funny how animals "grow" into their bodies. He has always had big eyes...I guess better to see predators in the wild with...lol. Right now he is not a full 2 inches yet. I think he still has a ways to go .
