Two yellowtail parrotfish swim underwear. A female (initial phase) swims closest to the camera, she is pink in colour with a yellow tail. A male (terminal phase) is following her, he is blue in colour.

I know this makes 3 days in a row now with a yellowtail parrotfish featured, but I've been having several very rough mental health days, and these boys are my favourite.
So have another very happy boy 🥰
