This print from Science Photo Library showcases the vibrant and diverse marine life found in the Andaman Sea, Thailand. The image captures a stunning moment as a Moorish idol (Zanclus cornutus) gracefully swims over a colorful coral reef. Its distinct black, white, and yellow pattern stands out against the backdrop of blue-green chromis (Chromis viridis), creating a mesmerizing contrast. The photograph offers an intriguing glimpse into the fascinating world of ocean fauna. The Moorish idol, with its elongated dorsal fin and unique shape, is known for its striking beauty and has become an iconic symbol of tropical reefs.
