I agree, th eblue fish look fine. It requires a very bright white light source at close proximity to see any "true" colors on fish. From what I remember from snorkeling, you would only see shades of blue, dark brownish and blackish colors for red or orange pigments, whites with blue hues and maybe some yellows and greens with blue hues/tints. Also some silvery, metallic reflections with whitish-blue hues and grays for some fish.

I'd love to see some more reef like rock and coral projections...maybe because Im a reef nut, since we are in the Pacific in temperate and tropical zones. We are only really near the sea floor in shallows anyway, exactly where the reefs would be.
