The Indo-Pacific region serves as its home, spanning from the Maldives to Micronesia. With its striking blue face and intricate patterns adorning its body, this fish is truly a marvel of nature. Measuring up to an impressive length of nearly 40 centimeters, this species primarily sustains itself by feasting on sponges and other sessile organisms found within shallow tropical reefs. Its presence adds vibrancy and diversity to the marine ecosystem it calls home. Photographed off Sipadan in Malaysia, this image captures the essence of Malaysian wildlife at its finest.
