​Clownfish

The beautiful fish now popular just as the one from the film ‘Finding Nemo’, the Clownfish has a unique bright orange colour with white stripes edged in black.

​Mandarin fish

The Mandarin fish are one of the most colourful fish in the ocean. Their bodies have many different colours on them including blue, green, orange, and yellow. The vivid patterns on their skin look almost as if they were painted by someone.

Sea turtles

Another beautiful marine animal is the sea turtle. Sea turtles too have different coloured shells, ranging from dark brown to greenish and their elegant flippers swimming through the oceans look extremely pleasing.

​Lionfish

Lionfish are famous for their unique fins that look like spikes that are attached to their body. They have red, white, and brown stripes and look extremely elegant while swimming along.

​Nudibranchs

Another extremely colourful and beautiful marine is the Nudibranch. These sea slugs look like they are extremely squishy and come in a variety of colours. Some of these slugs also look bright neon in colour.

​Harlequin tusk fish

Evident by the name, these small, colourful fishes have small tusk-like teeth that protrude out of their mouths. They have colours of blue, orange, and white stripes on their bodies and their unique teeth make them stand out.

​Octopus

Octopuses, with their huge sphere heads and tentacles, are beautiful creatures who also can change colour. Species like the blue-ringed octopus are particularly beautiful with their shiny blue colour and huge eyes.

​Leafy sea dragon

Leafy sea dragons are masters of camouflage, and as evidenced by the name look like leaves floating through the ocean. They are mostly yellow or brown which makes them strikingly similar.

​Parrot fish

Parrot fish look kind of spooky but also are extremely bright and colourful. These fish come in a rainbow of colours, often changing the shades of their skin as they age.
