It is not a usual photo, you can't see the face of this Glasseye "Heteropriacanthus cruentatus" from the Atlantic Ocean (Canary islands).
This photo shows us the beauty and at the same time the lethal relationship that a parasite causes in its host, they feed on it and little by little they deprive it of nutrients, often causing death. In this case we can see 3 specimens of Nerocila armata attached to its tail
The black background makes the scene pop out and focuses our attention on the main characters.
