As nocturnal beings, these fish spend their days nestled in deep caves, patiently awaiting nightfall when they truly come alive. Underneath the starlit Banda Sea in Indonesia, our dynamic duo effortlessly illuminates their surroundings with an ethereal glow. With tails intertwined and eyes gleaming like celestial orbs, this pair of flashlight fishes showcases true partnership and symbiosis at its finest.
