EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are introduced to a young and vibrant Pinnate Spadefish, Platax pinnatus. As it gracefully navigates through the intricate maze of mangrove roots, its colorful presence adds an enchanting touch to the underwater world. While adults prefer solitude and seek shelter under overhangs of steep outer reef slopes, these juvenile spadefish find their haven in mangroves and inner sheltered reefs. They cleverly seek refuge in caves or under ledges, blending seamlessly with their surroundings. Feeding on algae as well as jellyfish and other gelatinous zooplankton, these little adventurers have quite an appetite! Their diet reflects their curious nature as they explore the depths of Australia's tropical waters. The striking red-faced Pinnate Spadefish is truly a sight to behold. Its dusky batfish-like appearance makes it stand out among its marine companions. With a playful demeanor and a knack for finding hidden spots within the coral reefs, this young fish brings life and vibrancy wherever it swims. So dive into this mesmerizing image captured by Mary Evans Picture Library! Let your imagination take you on an aquatic adventure alongside this delightful Pinnate Spadefish as it explores the wonders beneath our seas.
