Angelfish swooping down amongst the corals on the seabed

Vermiculated Angelfish feeding in the coral reef. Vermiculated Angelfish swooping down to feed amongst the corals on the seabed. Vermiculated Angelfish are similar to butterflyfish in body structure but are in fact true Angelfish. They have striking blue lips and a yellow nose with a mask-like black stripe over the eyes. They also have brilliant electric blue outlining their dorsal fin which flashes against the corals as they swim.

Individually crafted, we take pride in our unique collection of wildlife photography. Our high quality photo prints featuring pictures of reef fishes are printed individually to order.
