Fabulous photo of the yellow tangs juxtaposed against the cobalt blue of the ocean, Graham! Great composition too, and seems to go along with lens-artists’ pattern theme, too!

Yes, although the numbers are far less than they were 10 years ago when I moved here.

Well, you can’t miss them. They must have lots of predators with those neon jackets!

Not that I know of. There are a lot of bright colored fish in the ocean. One interesting thing I learned is that, in the water, these bright colors can actually help camouflage a fish as they look different than they do to our eyes!

I love seeing these clouds of yellow ghosting over the reef.
