Clownfish of the day: OK, one more clownfish to share. This time we have tomato clownfish in the beautiful reefs of Apo Island. Wide angle photography is not my specialty, but I really like this reef scene with the clownfish moving through the huge anemone arcing across the surface, giant clam in the foreground, and soft corals in the background.

Picture of the day: You all seemed to enjoy the Ocellaris clownfish, so I figured I would share another anemonefish! This beauty is a Clark's Anemonefish, differentiated by the neon blue highlights.
