EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Clown coris (Coris aygula) in its natural habitat, hunting for prey on a sea grass bed. Known for its appetite for hard-shelled invertebrates like shelled molluscs, crustaceans, and sea urchins, this fish can grow up to an impressive length of around 70 centimetres. What makes this species even more fascinating is its ability to display marked colour variations depending on age and sex. Found throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific region, from east Africa to the Pacific islands, this particular Clown coris was photographed in the Egyptian Red Sea. The sandy backdrop adds a touch of serenity to the image while highlighting the vibrant hues of this marine creature. Its striking appearance against the underwater landscape showcases nature's incredible beauty. With its unique features and graceful movements, it's no wonder that marine biologists are drawn to studying these wrasses. This photograph not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insight into their biology and behavior. Captured by Science Photo Library, renowned for their exceptional wildlife photography collection, this print brings together elements of nature, Egypt's rich biodiversity, and marine zoology.
