Info Male Speckled sandperch (Parapercis hexophtalma), Red Sea, Egypt. It's a species of marine bony fish that grows to a length of around 28 cm (11 in) and is found in shallow waters on the east coast of Africa as far south as Natal, the Red Sea and the western Indo-Pacific. Like other members of the family Pinguipedidae are protogynous hermaphrodites, starting their adult life as females and changing sex to males later. Not only do the fish change sex, but they also change their markings at the same time. Male fish are territorial and defend a harem of females. Note: there is another one FP of this species, the only one in the whole order Trachiniformes but I believe that this one has a pretty different POV and higher detail. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 22:15, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support I'd love for more of the body to be sharper, but the front of the fish is nicely sharp at larger than life size and the fish is beautiful. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:51, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
