Clownfish in Cobalt Blue Hole Near Volcanic Reef

by Tracy Morton

Vibrant orange and white stripes of a clownfish stand out against a deep blue aperture in the water. The fish hovers within a dark, circular opening cut into a rugged volcanic reef overhang. Bright midmorning light falls through the monsoon rain, illuminating suspended particles that glitter like dust motes in the water column. The surrounding reef displays rough, textured surfaces in shades of brown and grey, against the smooth scales of the fish. Soft shadows define the contours of the rock, while the background dissolves into a gradient of deep cobalt, creating a strong sense of depth. A tiny white speck of plankton drifts past the fish's tail fin.
