Holding the camera waiting for this little guy to come out I shot some more of the Clowns, but he is what I was after.

Pesudochromis friedmani-the Orchid Dottyback

This fish is tiny, about 2" long and a little over .25" in dia, but has an atitude like you wouldn't believe.

Shooting through the aquarium glass poses a challenge. If the lens is not at a 90 degree angle with the glass, it messes with the focus a bit.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
