Thanks Lori. Its just a matter of getting the right angle and closer to them I guess. I agree with you that it's best to see them in their natural habitat. Part of the fun is fending off their attacks! Anemone fish are not as docile as portrayed in Finding Nemo :-) The Great Barrier Reef is on my wishlist! Just hope it would have recovered by then. Here in the Philippines, we were quite affected also by the coral bleaching last year.
These are the only ones I've seen, though my little point-and-shoot camera was nowhere near as good as yours, still it was thrilling to see the little fish in their natural home: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/2867001 I'm glad we got to the Great Barrier Reef last year - with all the cyclones and flood run-off earlier this year, reef life is really hurting, especially the tortoises.
Wow! Did you name them Marlin and Coral? No? Just me, then.
