Indian Sailfin Tang by a golden reef

Poster - Indian Sailfin Tang swimming over a golden coral landscape

Indian Sailfin Tang swimming over the corals, its distinct stripes and spots shining out in the rays of light descending from above the reef. Beautiful golden corals rising from the sea bed in an assortment of shapes and sizes, resembling a lunar landscape. Tangs are part of an extended family of fish including surgeonfish, unicorn fish and tangs, all with extremely sharp scalpel-like spines on either side of their tails. However despite their lethal spines, they are grazers, feeding mostly on algae growing on coral reefs.

Individually crafted - we take pride in our unique collection of underwater photography. Our high quality photo prints featuring pictures of tropical fish are printed individually to order.
