Symbiosis isn't just exchanging shelter for food or protection. A new study finds that photosynthesis within SPS corals significantly increases when damselfishes are swimming through their branches. At the same time, the fish's respiration is lower when living among live corals. by Admin | May 19, 2017 | Fish, Reef, Science
Good morning, I have one of the smallest, hands down cutest, most colorful fish on the planet for you today called a clingfish or Derillisus sp. that was recently found two and a half miles off the coast of St, Eustatius. When I first saw this tiny quarter inch fish through my 105 macro lens I yelled out immediately “I’m in love with a clingfish”! I have for sure never seen such an adorable face on a fish before and I may never see something this cute again, I mean look at that face!! This fish was very difficult too shoot not only because of how tiny it was but because it has a little suction-cup under it’s body and it’s constantly moving and re-attaching itself to any and every object it can find. This is why they are called clingfishes because of that little suction-cup which can be seen really well in the head-on shots. by Afishionado | May 18, 2017 | Events, Industry, Reef, Science
