Stuart Pearce Beauty :)

Fabrizio Frixa Hello Stuart, this species has invaded the Ionian coast in my last dive I will have seen more than a hundred. In the rest of the Mediterranean do not know how to be present.

Stuart Pearce Yes I have seen a lot around the Med coast of Turkey, have a few shots of them, beautiful fish :)
