The image shows a juvenile broadclub cuttlefish (Sepia latimanus) in open water. Its feeding tentacles are extended forward.
A green frogfish sits perfectly camouflaged among corals, displaying its characteristic behaviour by opening its mouth wide. The yellowish-brown colouration and typical skin papillae help it blend with the reef environment. The corals were desaturated in post-processing to highlight the fish.
A beautiful nudibranch with orange-white colouration and violet markings crawls across the dark seafloor. The Chromodoris species displays its typical rhinophores (scent organs) and the undulating mantle tissue with vivid colours.
