Spring Cleaning.
I filmed this footage while snorkeling on a particularly gloomy day, where the cloudy skies created a unique atmosphere. It was the perfect moment to capture this bright juvenile Meyer's Butterflyfish, its vibrant colours contrasting against the dark blue ocean.
Juvenile fish, like this Meyer's Butterflyfish (Chaetodon meyeri), rely on coral for protection, creating a symbiotic relationship that benefits both. As they seek shelter among the corals, these small fish also contribute by cleaning the coral of algae and parasites. This crucial role helps maintain the delicate balance of coral reef ecosystems.
