Courtship dance

During a dive in Curaçao, I witnessed two Foureye Butterflyfish engaged in a mesmerizing courtship dance. They circled each other rapidly, their synchronized movements a fleeting spectacle. Capturing such fast-paced behavior was a challenge, but I’m thrilled to have frozen this moment in time!
