Agreed. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
This is a true blue moorish idol...not a pennantfish...the two are often confused but usually the other way around...
This handsome devil was puttering about on the reefs off the coast of Lizard Island.
Where in Australia did you see this fab looking fish? :-)
