Two-barred goatfish (Parupeneus bifasciatus) on a coral reef. This fish inhabits the tropical Indo- Pacific region. It occurs in different forms across its range, with differing numbers and shapes of the dark bars on its flanks after which it is named.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant and diverse marine life found in the tropical Indo-Pacific region. The focal point of the image is a stunning Two-banded goatfish, also known as Two-barred goatfish (Parupeneus bifasciatus), gracefully swimming amidst a colorful coral reef backdrop. The Two-banded goatfish is named after its distinct dark bars that adorn its flanks, which can vary in number and shape across different regions. This particular species prefers to inhabit steep reef walls and seaward drop-offs, where it spends its days feasting on crustaceans before transitioning to fish hunting during nocturnal hours. With an average length of around 35 centimeters, this fish commands attention with its striking appearance. Photographed off the coast of Malaysia, this image captures not only the beauty but also the importance of preserving our underwater ecosystems. It serves as a reminder of how delicate these environments are and how crucial it is for us to protect them for future generations. This photograph from Science Photo Library offers a glimpse into the fascinating world beneath our oceans' surfaces while showcasing nature's incredible diversity. It highlights both the wonders of marine biology and zoology by capturing this magnificent creature in its natural habitat – an awe-inspiring testament to Earth's biodiversity.
