Red Sea
Sohal Surgeonfish
One of the prettiest fish in the Red Sea, the Sohal surgeonfish is hard to photograph whilst diving as it tends to stay on the top of the reef. I took this picture as I was snorkelling early one morning at the edge of the drop-off. These fish are quite shy too and move quickly, making it a bit of challenge to get a good picture.
