False Percula Clownfish (Macro Monday)

Macro Mondays 3/04/17 theme Orange and Blue.

For this theme I chose my clownfish Crichton (named after the character John Crichton in the TV series Farscape and yes I have a Aeryn as well) as it was the first thing I saw after reading this week's theme.The only problem was the backdrop in my aquarium is black.So after finding a safe piece of plastic I put it into the water and waited for the fish to get used to it.Once they were happy the next problem was focusing and the flash on the surface of the glass but that was easy to fix.

The common clownfish is a small fish which can grow up to 4.3" but my male is about 1.3/4" at most with the female being 2.1/2".
