EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant underwater world off the coast of Bali, Indonesia. In this mesmerizing scene, a pair of stunning marine species take center stage. On the right side of the frame, a magnificent panda butterflyfish (Chaetodon adiergastos) gracefully glides through the crystal-clear waters. Its striking black and white pattern stands out against the colorful backdrop of coral reef. To its left, a school of bluestripe snappers (Lutjanus kasmira) forms an impressive congregation around rocks and coral formations. These sleek fish with their distinct blue stripes add a dynamic element to the composition as they navigate their way through their natural habitat. The panda butterflyfish is known for its diet consisting mainly of coral polyps and small invertebrates, while reaching an average length of 20 centimeters. Meanwhile, bluestripe snappers feed on smaller fish and crustaceans as they thrive in large numbers within these rich marine ecosystems. Photographed by Science Photo Library's talented team, this image captures not only the beauty but also highlights the diversity found beneath our oceans' surfaces. It serves as a reminder that nature's wonders are abundant and deserve our utmost admiration and protection.
