Aww that is so adorable

Hmmm, there is a ( scribbled angelfish ) Chaetodontoplus duboulayi in the background. As it is almost completely confined to Australian waters, that would be an expensive fish in America. And it looks in excellent condition, well done.

That is sooo cool! I've never seen anything like that little guy. Now I have to look this up and find out what waters it lives in and how it survives.

does this have to do with how sharks don't maintain buoyancy and passively sink? so this critter would find itself on the floor often making this adaptation useful.

Imagine it's Day 1 of Creation—or if you like—"When All This Began" & Whatever said to you, "OK you're in charge of decorating Earth. Get some things together to put in there." How, & why would you have come up with these features, textures, forms & colors & — hands free—get them to replicate?
