Arc-Eye Hawkfish and Yellow Coral Cutout Photo T-Shirt

Description

The Arc-Eye Hawkfish Yellow Coral Cutout Photo T-Shirt brings a pink fish and branching coral directly against the fabric around them. Cobi Hay Yacobi’s Palau photograph becomes a clean silhouette that keeps the attention on the subject. Choose this version when you want the animal and habitat to define the design’s shape.

Arc-Eye Hawkfish Yellow Coral Cutout: the design

Facing upward and left, the pink hawkfish sits among yellow coral branches. The fish and coral retain their photographic detail, with the surrounding water removed to leave a clean, natural silhouette. Rings around the eye and the pale stripe along the fish remain visible. The design has no painted background or rectangular frame.

The shirt color shows directly around the fish and coral. A small 2Dive logo sits below the artwork with a clear gap.

Meet the arc-eye hawkfish

Known scientifically as Paracirrhites arcatus, this member of the hawkfish family inhabits tropical Indo-Pacific lagoons and seaward reefs. Branching corals provide places to perch. Shrimp, small fish, crabs and other crustaceans form part of its diet.

The curved, horseshoe-like marking behind the eye is a useful identification feature. A broad pale stripe on the rear body and branched tufts at the dorsal spine tips offer further clues, although individuals vary in color. The Fishes of Australia species account describes these features and the fish’s habitat.

Let the fish and coral define the outline

The arc-eye hawkfish cutout suits a preference for artwork shaped by its subject. Look at the spaces around the coral branches when comparing the shirt colors. Those openings help you judge how the design will sit within an outfit, because the surrounding fabric is part of the overall appearance.

For a gift, choose this version for someone who likes a focused photographic subject and a clear outer shape. The arc-eye hawkfish remains with its perch, so the small scene still feels connected to a reef. A plain pair of shorts or jeans gives that silhouette room to read. The result is an easy way to wear an interest in marine life without building an entire outfit around it.

Cotton, printing and delivery

The shirt is a Bella+Canvas 3001 unisex jersey short-sleeve model with a retail fit. All three colors use 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, weighing 4.2 oz/yd² (142 g/m²). This light, breathable fabric is finished with a ribbed knit crew-neck collar, tapered shoulders, side seams and a tear-away label.

The blank is sourced from Honduras and is REACH certified. Bella+Canvas is a Fair Labor Association member and Platinum WRAP certified. Our print partner in the USA prints the front design to order with direct-to-garment (DTG), filling as much of the print area as the image allows.

For L to 5XL, the full print area, including the small 2Dive logo, is approximately 12.31 x 12.92 in (31.3 x 32.8 cm). The printer scales it down proportionally to about 91% on M, 82% on S and 75% on XS.

Your order includes free shipping to the USA, Canada and Australia. After printing, delivery takes about 2-5 business days within the USA or 10-30 business days to Canada, Australia and other eligible destinations. These are estimates; express shipping is unavailable.

For other countries offered at checkout, shipping is US$12 for the first shirt plus US$8 for each additional item. The total appears before payment. Import duties or taxes may apply outside the USA. The shop does not ship to the EU, EEA or UK. Allow time for production before counting the delivery period, especially for a gift.

Choose your fit

Choose XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL or 5XL. Use a T-shirt that already fits well as your reference: lay it flat and measure straight across the chest just below the armholes. Measure length from the highest shoulder point to the hem, then compare with the printer’s guide. The unisex cut is straighter and longer than a women’s fitted T-shirt.

Compare the table columns using one unit system throughout. Sleeve length can help you compare the overall shape with a shirt you already enjoy wearing. If you prefer more room through the body, use a reference shirt with that same amount of ease rather than assuming your usual letter size will give the result you want.

Choose your arc-eye hawkfish shirt color

White, Black and Navy are available at $44.99 USD in every listed size. Choose the fit and background color you prefer without a size surcharge.

The arc-eye hawkfish cutout meets the shirt directly along the fish and coral outline. White gives the pink and yellow a light surround, while Black and Navy provide darker settings. Compare the spaces between the coral branches in each view. That is a useful way to choose how clearly you want the silhouette to stand apart from the fabric.

Care for your shirt

Machine wash cold, up to 30 °C (86 °F). Use non-chlorine bleach only if needed. Tumble dry low, iron on medium heat and do not dry clean.
