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. It prefers to stay around steep reef walls and seaward drop offs, where it feeds on crustaceans by day and fish by night. It can reach a length of around 35 centimetres. Photographed in Malaysia

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
