  • Red Sea, Egypt -- An Emperor Angelfish approaches the photographer at Jackson Reef. The emperor angelfish is relatively common in the Red Sea, but normally is very shy and will not approach divers. In this case there was a turtle digging food out of corals nearby. The promise of food seems to have overcome this angelfish's shyness. © Rick Collier / RickCollier.com.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Egypt; "Red Sea"; vacation; travel; destination; underwater; uw; "u/w"; scuba; "scuba dive"; "scuba diving"; dive; diving; coral; reef; "coral reef"; "dive site"; Tiran; "Tiran straits"; "straits of Tiran"; "Jackson Reef"; fish; angelfish; "angel fish"; "emperor angelfish"

  • Red Sea, Egypt -- An anemonefish ("clown fish") comes out of its "home anemone" to distract the photographer and try to drive me away from his home. The anemonefish is not naturally immune to the sting of an anemone, but over time coats itself in secretions of its "home" anemone so that the stinging cells do not fire when touched by this particular fish. © Rick Collier / RickCollier.com.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Egypt; "Red Sea"; vacation; travel; destination; underwater; uw; "u/w"; scuba; "scuba dive"; "scuba diving"; dive; diving; coral; reef; "coral reef"; "dive site"; Tiran; "Tiran straits"; "straits of Tiran"; "Jackson Reef"; fish; anemone; anemonefish; "anemone fish"; "clown fish"; clownfish
