She has indulged me, yet again, by sending me that which I adore – to add to my collection: photographs of fish. I so love this photograph by Jenn Mayes. It is of a rock cod, initially I thought my favourite of all the reef fish, a potato cod, because they are so improbable and don’t know how to shut their mouths properly. Now I am wondering if it isn't a gold spotted rock cod? Beside it is a very proper red emperor, of course. You can usually find that same red emperor always under that same arch at Wreck Beach Reef, Great Keppel Island. It doesn’t wander.
In this photograph you can also find a nudibranch, specifically a Chromodoris kuiteri. It is in the top right corner, on the arch above the fish. There are so many nudies at this dive site, and still so many fish, never mind the significant coral bleaching that Jenn has also captured in this photograph in the distance as coral that is now covered in brown algae. Hopefully, by next summer it will be a distant memory – the bleaching.

Oh my, how embarrassing. Jennifer, please delete the above post. I apologize. It was miapplied. The beauty of your friend's photographs do not deserve the distraction of a snarky post.
Karen,
Quoting misleadingbtexts whose authors are financially incentives to scare people about cli.ate foes not make your belief less wrong.
