Spot the pipefish
The photographer of this pipefish, reported that under natural light, the pipefish and the sponge in which it is hiding were identical in colour. He only noticed the fish when it moved. The red colour of the fish is visible because the photograph was taken using a flash. Both photos © G. McNeil.
