Floral Wrasse - a flower within a coral garden
Floral wrasse, very much reflecting its name, appearing like a flower as it swims through a coral garden of brown and green corals matching its colouring. Wrasse are a large and diverse family of fish, the majority of which are brightly coloured with intricately detailed markings. Although typically wrasse are small fish inhabiting the reef (most of them under 20 cm), there are a few exceptionally large members such as the Napoleon (or Humphead) Wrasse.
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.
