The photo was taken in the seabed of Raja Ampat. Marine area still untouched and full of marine orgasms. The fish in the photograph are surgeonfishes of the genus Naso caeruleacauda, present in large quantities, so much so as to obscure the sunlight. Their blue tail gives the characteristic of the species
