Magenta dottyback

Magenda dottyback is common in Okinawa,usually seen in 16ft / 5m to 98ft / 30m,lives steep reef slopes,  rather a shy species.
The species shows us the most attractive violet just like Amethyst.
This fish have triangular eyes,whish are common in Dottybacks,that make its face sharp.
I intended to express the sharpness and tempting violet being coupled with the ominous gray back tone.
