Colored 3 euro coin Austria 2024 – Luminous Marine Life “Doctorfish”

The blue doctorfish gets its name from the bony protrusions on its tail that have a razor-sharp edge, similar to a surgeon’s scalpel. When an opponent approaches, the bright yellow “scapel” is extended as a threat to ward off the attack, which can result in nasty cuts to the enemy if they do not heed the warning. Fish play an important role in maintaining the health of coral reefs because they remove algae when they feed, which provides space for corals to thrive.
