Description
Dive into the Red Sea with me!
In Makadi Bay I saw these wonderful beauties, the sulphur damselfish (also called Yellow Damsel) and the two-band anemonefish, also called Red Sea Clownfish. The play of light and shadows on the corals and the fish is so glorious and wonderful.
Sulphur Damselfish (Pomacentrus sulfureus) is a small and attractive looking yellow colored fish. Compared to most damselfish they have a very small range being confined to the eastern Indian Ocean and Red Sea. Even within their range they are not a commonly seen fish but they are not rare. This fish feed predominantly on algae.
Interesting thing about the clownfish: they are sequential hermaphrodites, meaning that they develop into males first, and when they mature, they become females.
