EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Anthias over a reef" captures the mesmerizing beauty of nature's underwater world. Taken in Indonesia, this image showcases a vibrant school of mixed anthias fish gracefully swimming above a coral reef. The male and female anthias, with their brightly colored bodies, create a stunning visual spectacle against the backdrop of the tropical ocean. As they feed on tiny organisms within the water column, these shoaling fish demonstrate their natural instincts and survival skills. The intricate biology of these aquatic creatures is highlighted as they navigate through the indonesian waters, forming colonies and moving together in perfect synchrony. The diversity of marine life found in Southeast Asia is truly remarkable. This photograph not only showcases the beauty of these bony fish but also emphasizes their close relationship with cnidarians such as corals and sun corals. These delicate anthozoans provide shelter for countless species and contribute to maintaining the fragile balance of our oceans' ecosystems. Georgette Douwma's skillful photography allows us to appreciate both the aesthetic appeal and scientific significance of this image. It serves as a reminder that our planet's biodiversity is precious and worth protecting for future generations to enjoy.
