the blue of the eye doesn't come out with flash very well, so shot with just the tank's PC lighting on Hi-ISO. Second shot is with my Opteka HD 10x diopter.

the "vivid" setting on my Nikon made her look more true to life, but it probably is a little brighter in some spots. But she really is THAT yellow. The corals in the photo don't look as colorful as they are, but they're not the focus anyway. If you click on "more properties" on a photo's Flickr page, you can see what the photo stats were, like shutter speed, focal length, saturation, contrast, etc.

That's an awesome fish!

That is probably one of my favorite dwarf lions I've ever seen. That yellow is just amazing.
