Fish and habitat artwork generated with OpenAI image generation (10 October 2026); programmed regional fin and tail motion, head-first movement slightly upward, a stylised eye blink, and independently swaying anemones. The blink is an artistic convention, not an anatomical claim. The movement is illustrative, not recorded behaviour or a biological simulation.
