December 16, 2016

In describing the award winning photo, the RSPCA website said, “A fantastically ornate ghost pipefish on the island of Bohol, Philippines. These fish are rare, and they love to hide. This one only came into view as the surge swayed the white anemone that it was sheltering under.

“The contrast between the fish and the anemone is spectacular, yet despite this the fish is cleverly camouflaged, quietly pretending to be soft coral polyps, thereby protecting itself from predators.”
