Hey Bill:
I've about had it. Anyone got a website where I can post a 1.7 meg file? The date on the file reads 10/17/00 9:47 PM... + 16 HOURS. The file I posted is as saved straight from the camera disk. I do NOT take kindly to this kind of thing. Funny how if the photo doesn't please you, it has to be me, not you, that's just plain wrong.
No offense, but why should any of us feel that you know all the possible morphotypes of the flora and fauna of Sulawesi from being a hobbyist for a few years and an amateur photographer. You've never seen it, so it doesn't exist? The camera messed up? I'm not telling the truth because you think its exceptional and I didn't know it? So, the camera all of a sudden took a crystal clear shot so well you can zoom and see stripes across the corneas of its eyes, but had a mind of its own and put red into it? Man, where can I get one of those cameras. Hate to shock you, but I'm not a fish expert. Without looking it up, I couldn't tell youthe scientific name of a pink skunk clownfish. I have no earthly idea what their color variations are, and have never kept one in a tank. The ones I have noticed in the hobby are pinkish with a white stripe. I'm not really into clownfish. But blah colored fish in the hobby are no great surprise when you've been in the wild. They usually look blah, in fact. So no, I was not particularly surprised by that clown or the anemone. Obviously, I guess I should have been.
And I didn't say I didn't see the clownfish, I said I didn't know there was anything unusual about it until this thread. Of all the people I have shown that photo to, no one has ever remarked that the clownfish was unusual, but usually just say, nice shot.
So, here are cuts from the zoomed image - one from the original, one from the autocorrected image. I'm sure you'll see that the coloration on this fish is the same.
