Sorry Bill,
When i took the photo [message #14545] i didn't know they were Thorunna africana (they looked familiar, but i wasn't sure). Plus, there was a big lion-fish next to them that kept getting too close to my hands (tried to scare it a way a little, but it wouldn't move). I hope i'll have better luck next time...

No problems - I'm ever hopeful. Lion fish are not worth playing games with - I remember a friend and I snorkelling in Tanzania on opposite sides of a small coral island and finding him face down at the waters edge where he'd dragged himself after being charged - and stabbed - by a lion fish. Luckily he recovered but it certainly opened my eyes to their real nature.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
