EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant world beneath the ocean's surface, featuring a mesmerizing False clown anemonefish amidst the delicate tentacles of an anemone. The image was captured in Misool, Raja Empat, a breathtaking region located in West Papua, Indonesia. The False clown anemonefish, scientifically known as Amphiprion ocellaris, is a stunning example of nature's beauty and diversity. Its striking orange and white stripes contrast beautifully against the vivid colors of its surroundings. This species is commonly referred to as "Nemo" due to its resemblance to the popular animated character from Finding Nemo. The photograph not only highlights the intricate details of this fish but also emphasizes its fascinating symbiotic relationship with sea anemones. These two organisms rely on each other for survival - while the fish finds protection within the stinging tentacles of the anemone, it provides food scraps and nutrients in return. Indonesia's tropical waters are renowned for their rich marine biodiversity, making them a haven for underwater enthusiasts and biologists alike. This image serves as a reminder of our planet's awe-inspiring fauna and encourages us to appreciate and protect these fragile ecosystems. Captured by Science Photo Library, this remarkable print offers viewers a glimpse into the wonders that lie beneath our oceans' depths. It celebrates both biological marvels like cnidarians (the phylum that includes sea anemones) and bony fish like Amphiprion ocellaris while reminding
