Coral Trout Print size:40" x 40" (102cm x 102cm) Darting swiftly in and out

Darting swiftly in and out of the anemone

mesmerising me with its hypnotic movements

known for its yellow colouring

I was the first to quietly slip into the water on arrival

Although the grey nurse shark looks quite threatening

Coral Trout Print size:40" x 40" (102cm x 102cm) Darting swiftly in and outOne of the most strikingly beautiful fish on the Great Barrier Reef is the coral trout, with bright orange colouring and tiny electric blue spots. As soon as I spotted this pretty fish in the distance, I approached slowly with minimal hand movement and slow breathing so as not to spook her. She allowed me to get close enough for a photo before swimming into the reef for protection.
