I've killed fish photographing them with a flash in a photo tank...I felt just awful about it; I let the drive for me to get a good image come above what I knew was right for the fish.
When I see pictures people take of their new fish in a acclimation container - and the flash is reflected off their eyes - I just cringe.
I no longer use a flash on fish that cannot get out of the path of the light if they want to.
Octopus, mantis and seadragons are all commonly cited as animals that can die from photo flashes...
Oh, and there is more than one aquarium out there with melted acrylic from when a studio light was placed too close to the tank front....
