EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant and diverse world of a tropical coral reef in the Andaman Sea, Thailand. The focal point of the image is two elongate surgeonfish, Acanthurus mata, positioned prominently in the center. These magnificent fish are undergoing a unique cleaning ritual by bluestreak cleaner wrasse, Labroides dimidiatus. Surrounded by an array of other colorful marine species, this snapshot captures a moment of symbiotic interaction between these fascinating creatures. The bluestreak cleaner wrasse diligently removes parasites and dead skin from the surgeonfish's body while benefiting from its nutritious meal. What makes this photograph even more intriguing is that it displays two different color varieties of the elongate surgeonfish. This ability to change color over time highlights their remarkable adaptability and adds another layer of beauty to this underwater scene. The image perfectly encapsulates the wonders of nature's intricate relationships and showcases Southeast Asia's rich biodiversity. It serves as a reminder that beneath the surface lies an enchanting realm teeming with life and extraordinary behaviors waiting to be discovered. Captured by Science Photo Library, this stunning print invites us to appreciate both the aesthetic appeal and scientific significance found within our oceans' depths.
