RFM5RMRW–This picture shows an emperor angelfish (Pomacanthus imperator: 30 cms.) amongst soft and hard coral on a near vertical wall. It is encountered commonly in the Indian and Pacific Oceans - including the Red Sea. Its brilliantly coloured pattern makes it a favourite subject for underwater photographers. It feeds mainly on sponges, algae and small invertebrates. The species exhibits the interesting phenomenon of ontogenetic colour and pattern change, in that the juvenile stage has a completely different, if equally striking, pattern of blue and white rings. Photographed in the Egyptian Red Sea.

RFT73F1M–This squirrelfish (Sargocentron spiniferum: 40 cms.) is found on coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific region. The head is pointed, with large eyes as it is a nocturnal feeder. During the day, it usually rests under outcrops - in this instance a table coral which extends from a colourful group of hard and soft corals. The body has red or pink scales on a yellow background, with a dark red patch behind each eye. There is a venomous spine beside each gill opening. Eating this fish can result in death as it accumulates a toxin in its body which is derived from algae in the food chain. Egyptian Red Sea.
