I found this Christmas carol singing Clarks' anemonefish in the Philippines (one of eight species I have seen in my favorite area, Balayan Bay). These are a commonly encountered species and part 5 in the Colors of Christmas.
This one is an intermediate, not yet a full adult. They also come in a black color phase replacing the yellow on the body with black. They can be found in a variety of different anemones, usually in pairs or even a larger family group.
Nikon D-100, Nexus D-100 housing, Sigma 28-135 Macro Zoom @ 105mm, 1/125th @ F-22, two Sea and Sea YS-120 strobes on manual exposure@ 1/2 power with diffusers.
