Wet Macro Lenses

Well all went very well on a trip to Bali just finished. The EM1 mk2 is great and the Inon +6 was perfect for most of the stuff I saw. The sea was almost glassed out one day and at it's worst was about 600mm (2ft).

This shot had me wondering for a while. Thought it was a sweetlip but had never seen this polka dot before.

It's a juvenile, they change when growing to adulthood like many other species.

Yes, I know that but which Sweetlip juvenile is it? Assuming it is a sweetlip, I have several shots of sweetlip juveniles but this is a first for me.

No idea without looking through my books.

Seen them around Tulamben as well as Sulawesi

It is a juvenile barramundi, not a sweetlips.

Thanks @tursiops

Damn I should have know that.

Thanks a lot, the boy who was my guide thought it was a sweetlip. Great trip with this as an extra bonus.
Must be a pretty young one as the google pics I looked at have a more developed dorsal fin.

There are some other similar looking juveniles, like a Panther Grouper, but you are much mkore likely to have ssen a Barramundi juv becasue they indeed swim like a juv Sweetlips.
