Finally got a decent picture of my new Kole Tang.

I had to crank the ISO up to 1600 since he never stops moving and I don't have a very fast lens, so there's a bit of noise. Like the photo's I found on the internet before buying him, photo's just don't do the colors of this gorgeous fish justice.

I played around with some post processing and at least got the colors a bit truer.



And another shot tonight after finally getting the white ballance to manually set to the tank.

    This is my first one, I've only had a yellow tang in the past. So far I'm loving him.

    You know, I've always resisted the urge to buy tangs, keeping only the two I have since 2004, but last year I brought home three Yellows, two of which are still with me and I keep considering adding more because they are so pretty. Then I stop myself because I don't want a tank full of tangs. This is one I'd seriously consider though, because they are really pretty and often docile. Plus they help keep the tank clean.

    Thanks Marc. Part of what the photo doesn't show is that whenever he tips side to side, he appears to change from purple to a dark burnt orange, similar to the sunset color of his fins. So far he hasn't touched any prepared foods, not even nori. But he's constantly picking at the rocks, glass and snails.

    Plus I don't anticipate having anything bigger than a 75 for a long time, and Koles are one of the smallest tangs available.
