The great clouds of yellow black and white banner angelfish, brilliant blue fusiliers, yellow tangs and smart surgeonfish are gone. |
The upper part is the territory of the surgeonfish which savagely protects it by attacking divers when they approach. |
Many species, such as parrotfish and surgeonfish, prospered on the algae covering that invades stricken coral reefs. |
Schools of fusiliers and surgeonfish and over 400 other species of tropical fish have made it their home. |
Yellow Tang and surgeonfish sometimes employ scalpel-like fins against those who grab them. |
What struck me most were the brilliantly-coloured blue tangs, surgeonfish which don't want to be photographed, and the soft corals. |
