Cichlid Purgatory

The plant-water interface fascinates me aesthetically - there is something radically surreal and Darwinian about submerged organic life that evokes the primal ooze from which all life purportedly sprang. These rib like structures are home to a myriad species of cichlids, who have invariable adapted to make this type of unique habitat there own. Shot off Thumbi Island, Lake Malawi.
