Red Sea Creatures

Red Sea Creatures is a field guide to everything that swims, hides and stings in the Red Sea: hundreds of species, the sites where you meet them, and a way to settle the argument on the boat about what that orange thing was.

FISHID: HAND IT A PHOTO. OR A WHOLE VIDEO.

- Feed it an underwater shot and it tells you what you saw, matched against photographs taken here, in this sea - not stock images of aquarium fish.
- Feed it a clip and it chews through the lot on your phone, finds where the picture changes and hands you the frames worth arguing about. Tap one, get a name.
- Blurry, backlit, half a fish behind a coral head? Send it anyway. That is what our photos look like too, and the answer is often still right.
- It knows one sea and nothing else, which is exactly why it gets them right. Show it your cat and it will say so.
- Five identifications a month are free. Need more? Packs that never expire and subscriptions live on redseacreatures.com, and they belong to your account - so anything you buy there works here.

A NOTE ON VIDEO

Android phones do not all decode the same formats, and some clips - HDR from an iPhone, high-frame-rate 4K from an action camera - will not open on every device. The app tries several ways before giving up and tells you when it cannot. If yours is one of those, send the original to [email protected]: real files are the only way we can teach it a format we have never seen.

THE CATALOGUE

- Hundreds of species - fish, sharks, rays, turtles, corals, nudibranchs - sorted by family, and in the big groups by genus, so the lookalikes stand together.
- Every card: photographs, scientific name, size, habitat, depth, behaviour, danger and venom, conservation status.
- And one fact per animal that actually sticks. Not a database dump.

THE REST OF THE KIT

- Dive sites with maps, depth, conditions and what lives at each.
- Dive centres across the Red Sea, filtered by city and country.
- Today's dive weather: air, water, wind, and whether you want the 5 mm.
- Dangerous marine life: what stings, what bites, what to do about it, who to call.
- Glossary: every technical word in the guide, in plain language.
- Blog: guides, species spotlights and stories from the reef.
- Search that understands a description, not just a name. Try "white fish black stripe yellow tail".
- Home-screen widgets: a different Red Sea creature every hour, and live dive weather.
- Sticker packs for Telegram and WhatsApp.
- Light and dark themes, built for the boat and the beach.
- Optional account (Google, Facebook, Discord, X): save favourites, share your own photographs, review sites and centres.

CONSERVATION

The Red Sea is unique and it is fragile. Every card carries the conservation status of the animal on it. Look, photograph, and leave the reef the way you found it.

Free to explore. FishID gives everyone five identifications a month.
