Pempheris vanicolensis

Cuvier, 1831


Stuart Pearce The Sweeper fish (Pempheris vanicolensis), this Red Sea migrant is my nemesis, a total nightmare to photograph as they inhabit dark crevices with fast flowing water passing through, usually get nothing more than an image of backscatter LOL... Olu Deniz Lagoon, Turkey 2013.

Annie Bodar magnifique merci

Stuart Pearce Thanks Annie :)
