@valeriomicaroni.bsky.socialTrying to stay in the orange/white/black pattern as much as possible, here is one of my favorite butterflyfishes, the Hooded Butterflyfish (Chaetodon larvatus). It's found only in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, and I photographed this one in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. #ichthyology

This is the deep section of the Great Southern Reef where light becomes limited and reef is dominated by corals, sponges, plentiful fish. Stay tuned for some more shots! @greatsouthernreef.bsky.social
