Double Barred Rabbitfish  Siganus virgatus

A pair of double barred rabbitfish emerge from a cloud of glassfish on Blizzard reef located in Lighthouse Bay near Exmouth Western Australia, part of the Ningaloo Reef.  Massive clouds of glassfish are a feature of this divesite.

Another excellent underwater image - love the bright yellows and swirling glassfish.

Lovely shot Chris. It's cool how the school of Glassfish have completely negated the backscatter.
Any Whale Sharks while you were at Ningaloo?

Thanks Stan, the huge numbers of glassfish made for some interesting shots and hiding backscatter is a real bonus.

We did the whale shark swim, our boat found two sharks, one about 6m and the other about 4m long, there's a shot of the 4m shark on my Instagram feed in my signature line, taken with a Pany 7-14mm This I hope is a direct link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BW2BeinAaaB ... uralimages

Nice. Humbling to be around something that big, even a small one!
