Photograph of a golden hamlet (Hypoplectrus gummigutta) fish, which is yellow with bright blue stripes on its head, swimming along a coral reef near Research Station HK-2 at the Miskito Cays, Nicaragua. Another fish, gray in color with a yellow fin, is swimming below the yellow and blue fish. Some algae can be seen on the coral reef structure.
