Atlantic wolffish resting
Atlantic wolffish resting next to a plumose sea anemone. The Atlantic wolffish (Anarhichas lupus) inhabits the rocky bottoms of the north-eastern and north-western Atlantic Ocean coasts, where it feeds on hard-shelled molluscs, sea urchins, crabs and lobsters. Plumose sea anemones (Metridium senile) are found mostly in the cooler waters of the northern Pacific and Atlantic oceans

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the serene beauty of the underwater world, capturing an Atlantic wolffish in a moment of rest beside a delicate plumose sea anemone. The Atlantic wolffish, known scientifically as Anarhichas lupus, finds solace among the rocky bottoms of the north-eastern and north-western coasts of the Atlantic Ocean. Its diet consists mainly of hard-shelled molluscs, sea urchins, crabs, and lobsters. In this mesmerizing composition, we witness nature's intricate interplay between fauna and flora. The plumose sea anemones (Metridium senile), typically found in cooler waters of both the northern Pacific and Atlantic oceans, add a vibrant touch to this marine tableau. These tentacled creatures are part of the cnidarian family and create a striking contrast against their surroundings. The photograph not only captures these fascinating organisms but also offers insight into marine biology and zoology. It serves as a testament to our planet's rich biodiversity beneath its watery surface. As we delve deeper into understanding these ecosystems through scientific exploration such as marine biology research, we gain invaluable knowledge about our natural world. Science Photo Library presents this stunning image that transports us into another realm—a glimpse into life below water where countless species coexist harmoniously or engage in predator-prey relationships like that between the atlantic wolffish and its preferred prey items. Let this visual masterpiece inspire awe for our oceans' wonders while reminding us to
