Rare reef fish photos
Hi all,
This is my first post here, so I will introduce myself. I am a marine biologist and my research involves diving around the world to collect fish samples for DNA analysis (tough life!  ). I've had fish tanks for a long time but haven't had one in the last few years because I am moving a lot. But that doesn't stop my passion for aquarium fish, especially reef fishes and Bettas.
I do a lot of underwater photography too, so I will post some pics of rare reef fish here. Looking forward to hearing more about reef keeping!
The first one: African Angelfish - Holacanthus africanus
Comments welcome!
Luiz

Hahahaha, didn't know you were here Leslie!  I am itching to build a reef aquarium but I think I will move out of Hawaii within the next two years, so don't want to set it up just to take it down later... |

Here is the juvenile of the African Angelfish:
Much more colorful than the adult... Both photographed in Sao Tome island, West Africa. |
