its a blue fish has kind of a spiky dorsal fin
it has a black spot on both sides towards the end of the dorsal fin and the beginning of the tail
it eats good, kind of territorial like a damsel

sound like a little blue damsel from what your describing...the silver patch is just food.

not a longspine or a blue damsel. Theres literally thousands of things it could be. It could be a baby grouper for all we know.

Maybe stop trying to take close up shots and try for a further away shot and crop it, the pictures might come out better so people can help ID what it is. Just a thought.

if the problem is overall focus and not because he i moving, plan on how far away he will be when you snap the shot, aim at something at the same distance that is outside of the tank, half press the shutter button and this should lock focus so that when you put your camera up against the glass, it will focus up to as far away as the object you focused on outside of the tank. Follow the fish around until he gets within that range, and BAM you got the shot. Worth a shot.

i will try that

is it normal that after night when i turn the lights on he has his stripes that are a dark orange and brown but after about a minute with the lights on in the morning he turns blue and loses his color for the rest of the day
