Scene at the Great Barrier Reef

Caption

The common coral trout (Plectropomus leopardus, family Serranidae) is an important predatory fish found on the Great Barrier Reef. Here it is seen attempting to blend in with the scenery as it stalks one of its potential prey, a small grey damselfish (Pomacentrus lepidogenys), sitting above a coral colony in the bottom left of the frame.
