Thalassoma duperrey

(Quoy & Gaimard, 1824)


David Fleetham Finally got my 5D mark 3 underwater. Nice unit! Schooling raccoon butterflyfish, Chaetodon lunula, and endemic saddle wrasse, Thalassoma duperrey, off the island of Lanai, Hawaii. 5D mark 3 in an Ikelite housing with twin Ikelite 161 substrobes and Sigma's full frame fisheye.

Kenneth Knezick It did a nice job on the sun ball.
