Bubbles - _TNY_5971

If you've seen the Pixar movie Finding Nemo, you might remember the very yellow fish obsessing over the bubbles escaping the treasure chest in his tank. That was Bubbles, a yellow tang (Zebrasoma flavescens), also known as the somber surgeounfish.

This specimen was a bit less hyper in its tank at the Haga Ocean butterfly house, but I was still pleasantly surprised at how sharp I managed to catch it in the not at all brightly lit aquarioum section.
