Clown Goby

Posted by Scott Collins (Ontario, California, United States) on 5 March 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

This is one of our saltwater fish, who's only about a half an inch long. He's usually bright yellow/orange, but for some reason he can change color to a pale yellow to almost white color.

So perfect! Did you capture it through glass and water, and it came out this good? Wow.

@Katie: Yeah, right through the glass. I had an off camera strobe set up to the right, which is why the background is so dark. I was also using a Vivitar 2x Macro tele-converter to get that close. Thanks for the comment!
