"Opportunities, many times, are so small that we glimpse them not and yet they are often the seeds of great enterprises. Opportunities are also everywhere  ... When you least expect it, a great fish will swim by." Og Mandino

 

 

 

 

Pomacanthus maculosus (family: Pomacanthidae; common name: Yellowbar Angelfish, Maculosus Angelfish, Map Angelfish)

A very beautiful angelfish, the yellowbar is indeed unique in every sense of the word. No two fish have the same markings and it is a joy to watch them in their natural habitat. All photos taken at Saint John point, Red Sea in March 2008 during my dives there.
