Welcome to the Photo Gallery Spotlight. Each
month we'll showcase a particularly nice aquarium photograph, taking the time to discuss
the identification and husbandry of the animal pictured as well as information relating to
the technical details of how the photo was taken. Readers are encouraged to send
images (and details on the organisms pictured, as well as the details of how they captured
the shot) they would like to submit for possible inclusion in this feature to terry@advancedaquarist.com . For submissions
that are published in Advanced Aquarist, the author will receive a $25.00 gift certificate
from one of our participating advertisers.
This
photo of an ornate or clown butterflyfish (Chaetodon ornatissimus) was taken at Pu`uhonua O Honaunau
National Historical Park in Hawaii. While a beautiful species, it is an obligate corallivore, and cannot be kept in the average hobbyist's aquarium.
