Pinktail triggerfish

This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Think Pink.’ See more responses here.

I chose this pinktail triggerfish, not just for its tail, but for the pink around the mouth and the strong colors and lines of the rest of it.

  Thanks. It is pretty fish. This one was in a marine reserve and so was comfortable with me getting closer.

    Its great when they are comfortable like that. Sad when they learn with good cause to be wary.

      True, but it’s not bad to be wary. In the ocean there’s always some predator around the corner.

I love seeing pink on fish, it seems an unlikely color! Lovely capture, Graham.

  Thanks Terri. They have an appropriate name, which isn’t always the case.

  It is. They’re very distinctive in the water.
