Coral Hind and Cleaner Wrasse Photo T-Shirt

Description

The Coral Hind Cleaner Wrasse T-Shirt brings a small reef partnership into view with an orange head, bright blue spots and a second fish beside it. Cobi Hay Yacobi’s photograph gives this colorful design a story beyond its palette. Wear it for the details, and keep the encounter close between dives.

Coral Hind Cleaner Wrasse T-Shirt: the design

The design stays close to the original crop: the coral hind’s head and the small cleaner wrasse beside it. Broad blue, turquoise and golden-orange brushstrokes extend above and below the photographic head. The rear left edge fades gradually into the surrounding color, while the eye, mouth and cleaner wrasse remain clear. A small 2Dive logo sits below the artwork.

Meet the coral hind and cleaner wrasse

The coral hind, Cephalopholis miniata, is a grouper that hunts small fish and crustaceans on Indo-Pacific reefs, including the Red Sea. Its orange-red coloring carries a pattern of blue spots. At a cleaning station, this predator becomes a visitor receiving attention from another fish.

A bluestreak cleaner wrasse, Labroides dimidiatus, removes parasites from its clients and gains food in return. Its dark body stripe helps identify the smaller participant. Read the Australian Museum’s cleanerfish account for more about these established stations and the fish that work there.

Wear a reef relationship

The coral hind gives the design its strong first impression, but the smaller fish makes it worth a second look. That balance is useful on a casual shirt: it has color from a distance and something specific to discuss when someone asks about the image. You can start with the animals rather than a slogan.

For a gift, consider the diver who likes watching interactions instead of moving quickly from one sighting to the next. The coral hind and its companion bring that interest into an ordinary day. Keep the rest of the outfit simple if you want the encounter to remain easy to read, with the small participant visible beside the larger head.

Our print partner prints the design on the front to order in the USA using direct-to-garment (DTG). On L to 5XL, the full print area, including the small 2Dive logo, measures approximately 12.31 x 10.08 in (31.3 x 25.6 cm). The printer scales it 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. Lay a T-shirt that fits well flat, measure across the chest just below the armholes, then from the highest shoulder point to the hem. Compare both measurements with the printer’s tables. This 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 coral hind 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.

Choose White for a light surround around the coral hind, Black to set off the orange and blue, or Navy to continue the cooler palette. Look closely at the smaller cleaner wrasse in each view before deciding. The relationship between the two animals is part of the design’s appeal, so choose the background you most enjoy seeing them against.

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.
