A pair of larval stage moorish idols (Zanclus cornutus) swim together in open water as part of the plankton. Moorish idols have a large and long-lasting larval stage, which accounts for their wide geographic range across the tropical Indo-Pacific. Photographed at night. Bitung, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Lembeh Strait, Molucca Sea
