This print showcases the vibrant beauty of the Red Sea bannerfish in its natural habitat. The image captures a mesmerizing moment as these elegant fish seek shelter behind net fire coral on a reef in the Red Sea, Egypt. Red Sea bannerfish, scientifically known as Heniochus intermedius, are commonly found in coral reefs across the tropical western Indian Ocean.
