The Story:

Anemone fish do not stay still; they move quickly and open their mouths only briefly, making it very challenging to photograph the parasites inside. Additionally, it was quite difficult to focus precisely on the parasites living on the tongues of anemone fish. Since the moment an anemone fish opens its mouth is extremely brief, I took continuous shots to capture it—and I believe I got very lucky with this photo.
