I often find something like a universe, when I develop a cardinalfish photography.
Their shining body looks like a star or galaxy.
This species has bright yellow line and that beautifully emphasize this inner universe.
透き通った体にきらきらと輝くテンジクダイ科の魚たち。本種はレモンイエローの差し色付き。
日本には生息しておらず、和名は見つけられなかった。
英名はWhiteline Cardinalfishであるが、この美しいYellowではなく、そっちに注目するのか？？
命名とはなかなに奥深い作業のよう。
Glistening with a transparent body, the fish of the Cardinalfish family shine brightly. This species is adorned with lemon-yellow accents. It does not inhabit Japan, and I couldn’t find its Japanese name. Its English name is White-line Cardinalfish, but I wonder why the focus is not on its beautiful yellow color instead? Naming seems to be a truly profound process.
