Thank you, all. Nice pics all the time.

Here is a new discovery at the yacht harbor. It was an adult Emperor Angelfish, 20 cm long. It was seen for just five minutes before my eyes... an incredible sight, because I stood at the wall before the surface without entering the water. The depth of water is some 4 meters, and it was swimming between 50cm and 3 meters depth.

I love the pictures that you take from your local coast Tanaka-san. Pretty amazing that you have such amazing marine life on your doorstep! My wife and I may have to visit Miyazaki-ken at some point (though I may have to invent another reason to visit).

Thakns for your comment.

Yes, I hope snybody to visit our sites, and this season seems the best to see and even catch tropicals at coasts in Miyazaki. I can see many of them at the harbor from June to the beginning of November.

It is a male of Cirrhilabrus bathyphilus from Vanuatu with a different coloration. Usually Vanuatu males have a yellow body with a red head (from Efate Island, northern Vanuatu). This specimens probably comes from Tanna Island, southern part. It is still a young male, 7cm.
