Red Indian fish, Pataecus fronto. Note big pectoral fins that look like 8 finger hands and help the fish to move and grab among the sponges and corals. It is a relatively rare species and we don't know much about it's biology. But it has been discovered that, like the snakes, it regularly moults. When it grows, or the skin is old, it changes it as if it were a used outfit, in one swoop, getting rid in the meantime of the parasites and the encrusting weeds. Australia. Composite image

Tentacled flathead (Papilloculiceps longiceps). Wreck, sunken ship. The SS THISTLEGORM is considered one of the most spectacular shipwrecks in the world for its scenic beauty. Flying the English flag, it was attacked and sunk by German bombers when heading towards the Suez Canal (October 1941). Their cargo is without a doubt one of the most peculiar that we can find under the surface of the seas: motorcycles, jeeps, military clothing, bullets, airplane wings, machine guns and a couple of locomotives and trucks. Sinai Peninsula. Red Sea, Egypt.
