Shortspine Porcupinefish emerging from a coral cave
Shortspine porcupine fish emerging in the evening from a cave within the corals. Shortspine porcupine fish hide during the day under ledges or in caves. They emerge during the evening to forage on sea urchins, gastropods and crustaceans.
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.
