EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Striking Margined Coralfish (Chelmon marginalis) Specimen from Coral Bay, Port Essington This print showcases a single Margined Coralfish (Chelmon marginalis), a vibrant and intriguing marine invertebrate, against a black background. The Margined Coralfish, also known as the Margined Butterflyfish, is a beautiful bony fish belonging to the Chaetodontidae family, order Perciformes, and class Actinopterygii. This fish is characterized by its distinctive black and white stripes, with a yellow margin running along its body, giving it the common name "margined." The holotype specimen in this print, BMNH 1843.6.15.48, was collected from Coral Bay at Port Essington. Coral Bay is a picturesque landform located in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, known for its rich biodiversity and stunning coral formations. The Margined Coralfish is an anthozoan, which means it is a member of the Cnidaria class, a group that also includes corals, jellyfish, and sea anemones. The Margined Coralfish is a popular choice among marine enthusiasts due to its striking appearance and interesting geomorphology. It is a perciform fish, meaning it has a compressed body shape and a single dorsal fin. This fish is an essential part of the coral reef ecosystem, feeding on various invertebrates, including polyps, worms, and mollusks. The Margined Coralfish's diet and vibrant colors serve as adaptations that help it blend in with its coral reef environment while hunting for food. Its diet and coloration also make it an essential component of the food chain, contributing to the overall health and balance of the coral reef ecosystem. This print offers a unique opportunity to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of the Margined Coralfish, a fascinating creature that adds to the rich biodiversity of our oceans.
