Bluetail Surgeonfish

This Bluetail Surgeonfish was at a cleaning station - the little Cleaner Wrasse is carefully searching for parasites and dead skin fragments. Iterestingly, the fern like coral in the lower left looks very harmless but it stings like mad if you brush against it. I kept forgetting and ending up getting stung regularly. It's called Stinging Hydroids or sometime Fire Coral!!
