In this vibrant underwater scene captured by the talented duo Ron and Valerie Taylor, we witness a fascinating symbiotic relationship between the colorful VT-8453 Cardinal fish and their unusual protectors – spiney sea urchins! These social little swimmers have found an ingenious way to ward off predators in the crystal-clear waters of Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea. Forming a tight-knit school, these cardinal beauties seek safety in numbers. But what sets them apart is their choice of bodyguards - echinothrix diadema sea urchins! With their spiky armor providing excellent protection against potential threats, these brave fish find solace among the prickly embrace of these echinoderms. It's like a secret hideout party where everyone brings their own unique defense mechanism! This mixed-species gathering showcases nature's incredible adaptability and teamwork.

The tropical paradise of Papua New Guinea provides the perfect backdrop for this extraordinary display of fish behavior.
