Inquisitive Clown Fish

The problem with clown fish is not to get close to them. It is to prevent them from coming too close to the camera! If they were the size of a small shark, diving would be impossible as they are extremely aggressive fish that will not hesitate to bump into a camera or the fingers of a diver. I like the angle of this photo as the clown fish was hovering above his anemone.
