Steephead parrotfish waiting whilst a cleaner wrasse descends to clean and remove parasites. Wrasse and Parrotfish are closely related, both being colourful members of the same family of fish. Parrotfish have exceptional coloration, resembling parrots both with their vibrant colours and beak like teeth which they use to rasp algae from corals & rocky outgrowths.
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.
