Field Notes

Description:

There are many species of clown fish. This is one of the more common species with a wide distribution range. They are fun to see when diving because they aren't very shy. On the contrary they will quite frequently attack divers by bumping into masks and dive gear.

These ones I did not see yet while diving. I think only once in Thailand but I am not sure. So yet a must see :-)

You're welcome :) I love seeing these guys when diving.. Unfortunately this pic is grainy because I put my ISO really high by accident..
