Corallina elongata

J.Ellis & Solander, 1786


Stuart Pearce This species of fish is compulsory in algae shots Ron LOL, soon as you get focused, up he pops :D

Ron Silver Apparently so! :-D

Cameron Easton Corallina elongata maybe?

Stuart Pearce Either elongata or officinalis Cameron, we mainly get Corallina officinalis in the UK, but elongata is more abundant in the Med, apparently main difference is coarser articulations in officinalis :)

Tom Hobock Looks like bait fish to me Stuart,lol I better stop these smart a-- remarks before I'm thrown out.lol Seriously it's quite a handsome little guy great shot,exceptionally clear and crisp.I'm not familiar with this species only know that it's a great shot.Ron I'm as alway very impressed.The beauty of it is knowing you where not looking for it but it found you.Thats the best part of all.
