Indian Tubeworm

The feathery tenticles of this Indian tubeworm were spotted by FOTW divers recently. Nice composition.

Lined Butterflyfish

Well, after the inevitable stress yesterday evening of England playing in a World Cup finals match against a bunch of journey man 1st division players and some aged pensioned off ex-Man Utd pros dragged out of retirement, what better antedote than tropical fish gliding by. Here are two beauties for you. By the way, for those of you logging in from a far away coral reef England won with two late but also beauties from Crouch and Gerrard

Masked Pufferfish (at rest)

Another one from my extensive album of fishes rear ends. An occupational hazard in the world of fish photography. Next week Kylie....

FOTW would also like to reassure its readership that despite World Cup fever striking the FOTW offices it will continue to bring you the best shots from the marine world. No doubt our intrepid current affairs editor will bring us some excitting stories with a fish angle from the World Cup over the next month. By the way, my Guardian wall chart of UK fish has only temporarily been replaced with my Metro World Cup one.

Emperor Angelfish

Still not got my definitive picture of an Emperor Angelfish. This shot snapped recently in Ras Mofamed National Park in hte Red Sea is the best yet.
