Masked Bannerfish swimming over a multi-coloured reef
Masked Bannerfish swimming along the drop-off over an array of beautifully coloured corals. Masked Bannerfish are often found along the deep edges of coral reefs, where they pick at the corals and dart swiftly over short distances to get the worms before they retract. They do this by using their Pectoral fins as oars to brake, sprint, turn and even to reverse.
