Thanks. It was taken in the Similan Islands in Thailand in January.

Not the best pic but I do love my CBB, it is close to 5" nose to tail & 4" top to bottom.

Some great photos so far! Here's one of mine. This is a Chaetodon ulietensis or double saddleback butterfly. Originally purchased to help keep majano under control, which all disappeared within a few weeks, and then aiptasia. Unfortunately after that he developed a taste for more expensive things so he now lives ina FOWLR. Had him about 2 years now I think. He can help dispel the myth that butterflyfish are peaceful fish, he is the king of his tank and lets the others know.

Thanks man, haha it's one of about 100 attempts. I had to switch cameras too, the first one I used just utterly spooked him, not sure what was up with that, I think he was seeing the focus beam or something.
