Hi I'm a diver that enjoys playing video games when I'm not writing about marine life, diving or maritime history, but if I'm not doing that I'm out with my mates. How about you?

Fish with a vanity complex

Posted by greatwh1teshark - May 10th, 2009


Hey there everyone,

I did say in my last post that I was going to do a series of posts that either contain articles that I have written and had published, or post pictures that I have taken during my underwater escapades.

If you look at the fish in the photo, you can see it's right in the middle of the screen, but the funny thing was that when I went to take the picture, the fish was nowhere to be seen, I was actually trying to get a picture of the red starfish behind the fish, but when I pressed the button, the female Rainbow Wrasse (Coris Julis), swam at me out of nowhere and got right in the middle of my shot, talk about a vanity complex. After I had took the picture I was able to eventually get the picture I wanted of the fish, even though I had to wait for two minutes, the fish just wouldn't leave me alone, it kept wanting its picture taken.

Please feel free to leave a comment of what you think of the picture or of the fish, if you would like to learn anything about the fish, feel free to send me a PM and I'll tell you what you want to know.

Ciao everyone, I've just spotted some fresh prey, got to get my teeth stuck in another article.

P.S As I said earlier on in this post, and in the last one everyone who sees this post, keep an eye out because from now on once a week I am planning on posting either underwater photos that I have taken or put articles I have written in this space, so if you want to learn things about the underwater realm, stick around, and you'll learn a lot.

i got top spot
oh yeah

Of course you did, you were the first person I told of my new post.

what a cam hog
hahah

Yeah I know, I was doing an article on starfish, not Wrasse, so what does this guy do, he tries to ruin my shot, but I persevered and finally got my pictures.

If that fish was a person I think she would be a model cause of the picture hogging like xellon mention

Man, if the fish was a person who was a model, I would of took her her number and show her the nearest bar before a night of , as Quagmire from Family guy would say: alright. Oh!

hahahhahah
:D

I knew that would make you laugh.

that fish ego must be pretty high

This was just the first picture I have of it, I have ten others, but non as good as this one, this fluke shot was the best one.

Hahaha! Thats an impressive starfish aswell...don't get ones like that in Scotland.

No I don't that you do, the starfish was actually bigger then my hand, it was huge.

Looks like it. Is it true that they have no brains?

Their entire nervous system acts like a distributed brain. So, it has a brain, just not like ours which is a control center made up of white and gray matter, housed in a head. So its yes and no, they do have a brain, just one not like ours. Hope this helps.

Thanks mate, very helpful :D

No problem, wouldn't be good at my job if I couldn't answer your question.

what is it it looks flat i didnt read the stuff my brother told me about the fish and i skipped down the page and saw it

The fish is a female Rainbow Wrasse, they are very common in Spain and other places around the world.

Awesome pic, It'd be great to draw the Wrasse or the Starfish, The Higher the res the better, you're a great underwater photographer.

I'll send a copy og this pic to your email account later, thanks for the comment.

Hey check out <a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/461413">http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view /461413</a> I think you might like it.

Hey man, I did check out the link you gave me, you were right, I did like it, thanks again man.

I want one

Yeah me to, but if I did, I would have a male, they have a nicer coloring.

haha cute lil thing wanted its pic taken haha! amd anout that lil guy there.....is it just me or am i really seeing right through it?

I think that's just you mate.

What a camwhore, I bet her tits are fake!

Fish don't really have tits, so probably.

it did
hehe
sooo
how's the cuttlefish thingy going?

The article on cuttlefish spawning is going very well, nearly got it finished, just have to make another dive to finish it.

Lol you had great timing :D

It had nothing to do with timing, it was a pure fluke. I was just trying to take a picture of the starfish but this fish got in the way.

cool
:3
and the night diving?

Yeah the night diving's going great too, man I love diving at night, it doesn't feel like diving, it makes you feel more like an astronaut, lost on an alien world.

it i mean she looks cute i cant belive you can often see them in spain nice stuff wonder what other funny and cool stuff u got ; )

In Spain we have many species of fish, cute ones, ugly ones and even dangerous ones. One of my all time favorites is the cuttlefish, they just look so cool.

yeah
it's all dark and stuff
and you're floating too
HOLY SHIT
A FIVE LEGGED CREATURE
oh wait
that's a starfish
nevermind

Yes of course its a starfish, but sometimes they can have more then five appendages.

whoah
really?
cool
hmm
i heard they don't have brains?
(and patrick from spongebob kinda proves my point)
