Starry Rabbitfish

A lot of people do not know about it but rabbitfish are poisonous. They have spines on their dorsal fin that contain non-lethal venom. In Marsa Shagra, the starry rabbitfish is a common sight, even in the bay. I took this picture as I was making my way back to the beach.

Nikon D700, Nikon 28-105 mm macro at 105mm, F8, 1/60th, ISO 400, Ikelite Housing and Ikelite DS160 strobe set on TTL.
