EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing moment in the depths of the Andaman Sea, Thailand. In this underwater scene, a magnificent Star pufferfish (Arothron stellatus) takes center stage as it receives a thorough cleaning from a diligent bluestreak cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus). The symbiotic relationship between these two species is beautifully showcased here. The Star pufferfish, with its striking appearance and powerful jaws adorned with sharp teeth, can be found in the tropical Indo-West Pacific. It sustains itself by feeding on corals, sponges, and crustaceans which it expertly crushes and grinds. However, even this formidable predator requires some assistance when it comes to parasite removal. Enter the bluestreak cleaner wrasse – known for their unique ability to remove parasites from other fish's bodies. This tiny but essential helper diligently attends to every nook and cranny of the pufferfish's body while benefiting from a meal themselves. The vibrant colors of both species against the backdrop of an enchanting coral reef create an awe-inspiring sight that showcases the wonders of marine life. This photograph serves as a reminder of nature's intricate web of relationships and highlights the beauty found beneath our oceans' surfaces.
