•  Info Acropora hemprichii, Ras Katy, Sharm el-Sheikh, Red Sea, Egypt. This species of acroporid coral is found in shallow reefs in marine environments, occurs at depths of 3 to 15 m (9.8 to 49.2 ft), and lives for between 13 and 24 years. The species is listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, and has a decreasing population. It's found in colonies of densely-packed branches, which are flat or upward-facing, are often more than 2 m (6.6 ft) wide, and can exist without the presence of any other species. Acropora hemprichii is common but only found in a small area; the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea, the Philippines, and the Indian Ocean. The guy in the top right corner is a blackside hawkfish (Paracirrhites forsteri) and the two guys hidding in the coral are yellow chromis (Chromis analis). c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 17:14, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Support I wish the little fish were sharper, but I suppose this is an FP because of the composition and the sharpness of the coral. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:49, 25 April 2022 (UTC)

•  Oppose I don't know if the composition is FP worthy. The subject is only centered after all. No real effort seems to have been done to get an original point of view. The focus is also on the back part of the coral and on the "ground" in front of the it. And finally for me, the main subject is hard to tell apart from its environment. Whether this is a feature or not, I don't discuss. But that does take a toll on the attractiveness of the photo. Good QI? Yes. FP? Not in my opinion. - Benh (talk) 16:50, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
