Clearfin Lion fish

With the festive season behind us (perhaps with the exception of my anterior food storage unit which has grown a little over the last week or so) we return our focus to fish. We know what you like really. This weeks fish is a clearfin lion fish. Wishing you all a prosperous New Year from FOTW.

Merry Christmas

All of the FOTW team would like wish our extensive fan base a very merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
As always FOTW go to great lengths to get you the top underwater photos. Hilary is seen here in the latest PADI approved underwater Santa head gear.

Stone Fish

On my 90th odd dive I eventually saw one of these buggers. Up to this point I was beginning to believe there was a conspiracy amongst the dive world to make me believe that such things actually existed. This chap was pointed out to me by FOTW's wine correspondant (no reviews so far then John? Perhaps your pallete has yet to recover from the beatig it took with the Obileisk) on Yolanda Reef in Ras Mohamed National Park. Thanks, otherwise I would have probably sailed on by oblivious yet again.

Glass Fishes

In the interest of increasing fish throughput on FOTW this snap has been carefully selected by the editorial board. Shame about the videographer who mysteriously appeared from no where to spoil the overall effect.

Dory Snappers

These chaps were sptted recently swimming near to the Dunraven wreck. Commonly mistaken for the One Spot Sanppers, who also bear the distinctive black mark just below the rear section of the dorsal fin, but unlike the Dory rarely hang out in groups.

Forsters Hawkfish

This chap was either on the look out for a passing fish for lunch or maybe I posed a threat to his harem. Whatever, I got the eye.
