•  Info A majestic blackside hawkfish (Paracirrhites forsteri) watching for a prey on top of a coral (Pocillopora verrucosa), Ras Muhammad National Park, Red Sea, Egypt. It is from the Indo-Pacific and occasionally found in the aquarium trade and is also of minor importance to local commercial fisheries. It grows to a total length of 22 cm (9 in). One of the main characteristics of this speices are the speckles of the head. The black-sided hawkfish is an ambush predator; it usually lies in wait on a head of coral, propped up by its stiff pectoral fins, ready to dart out at passing crustaceans or small fish.[ It is mainly a solitary fish, but may be seen in pairs or may form small harems with one dominant male and several females. Like other members of the family, it is a sequential hermaphrodite; adults start life as females but the largest female in a group changes sex to a male if that position is vacated. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 13:27, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

•  Support per Aristeas. I think you should add categories for more of the creatures that are visible in the photo. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:23, 1 September 2023 (UTC)

• Not so sure here, there are two elements here in focus, the hawkfish and the coral below it. I could add a category of the species of the white pulse coral in the back (Xenia umbellata), but then it is as prominent as the other coral. Why do you think that it's important?

• The white thing in the near right corner is very sharp, so I'd say at least add that. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:33, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

• Not really convinced because for me there are main actors and minor actors in a picture and adding cats for both is like putting them all at the same level, but ok, added. No big deal. Poco a poco (talk) 08:18, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
