[mudskipper1]

Not on the same level as most of these, but hey, I try...

Can you tell I only have clownfish?

D3000, old quantaray flash for the first 2, using a +4 magnifying filter in at least two of the shots.

No flash used on mine except for a bounce flash on the skunk clowns. Otherwise I just worked under natural light.

I should have clarified that I bounced it off the flash card that pops out of the flash gun. So at close range it doesn't go around the light fixture

Here's my first attempt at trying to get some decent photos. It's really hard to get a clear shot if there is more than a few inches of water between the lens and the subject!

This probably doesn't qualify for what you are looking for, but closest thing I have. Also, I only have some Canon digital camera that I don't know the name of.

 

[iceemn360]

I was told that he's probably a Halichoeres chrysotaenia

good luck!
