So to get some attention he dressed himself up with a bit of soft coral. I used a Nikon Coolpix 3200 with a Fantasea CP-3N housing. I took one frame to get this shot. Photocomp March '05 - Novice

This was only the third underwater photo I ever taken! I snapped this little guy at Anemone Bay, North Solitary Island, NSW. I used a Nikon Coolpix 3200 Camera with a Fantasea CP-3N housing. I had waited some time for the anemone fish to rise into position and stay there long enough for me to get the shot. I probably took around five frames to get this shot. Photocomp March '05 - Novice
