The moment of spawning when a male yellowtail tang (yellowtail surgeonfish: Zebrasoma xanthurum, top) and a female turn belly to belly to ensure fertilization at the peak of their spawning rise. This action is very fast, which has created blur, even though this is not a long exposure. Temple, Ras Umm Sid, Sharm El Sheikh, Sinai, Egypt. Red Sea.
