[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Striped Surgeonfish (Acanthurus lineatus) can be easily recognised by its colouration. The upper three-quarters of the head and body are covered with black-edged, blue and yellow stripes. The lower quarter is purple to pale blue.

It has a lunate caudal fin and a long spine on the caudal peduncle.

The Striped Surgeonfish grows to 38 cm in length.

It occurs on exposed coral reefs throughout much of the central and Indo-Pacific.

In Australia it is known from off north-western Western Australia and from the northern Great Barrier Reef, Queensland to northern New South Wales.

Hi Alp
Very good underwater picture. Beautiful colours and excellent sharpness.
It is very difficult to take underwater pictures and there are not too many of them at TN. And that's also why I appreciate more your picture.
Thanks for sharing
Ania
