what type of fish is that in the first pic?

That is commonly called a blotched anthias I believe. The scientific name is; Holanthias borbonius
If memory serves they are a more expensive, deepwater fish. (can someone please verify this?)
That first shot is great , I like how we get a nice view of some of your reef, but the focus is directed to your anthias. Your enchinata looks like a nice piece as well. It looks like you have some good colors going! Do you have any full tank shots?

Thanks for the compliments.

Yes, the fish in the first picture is a Holanthias borbonius (aka blotched anthias). It is a deep water fish, but it is not as expensive as it used to be.

what is your camera setup?

 

[mdt178]

Canon XT (D350). Most were shot with Canon 28-135 f/3.5-5.6, some with the 100mm f/2.8, although the bowfront tank made it very difficult to get good macro shots.

nice pics/tank. I think those Anthias are one of the coolest looking fish I've ever seen.
