Crab and Sea Urchins

A colorful crab and sea urchins make for a psychedelic scene in Clallam Bay, Washington. Marine invertebrates, sea urchins use their spines to move along the seafloor, and crabs are known to be their natural predators.

 

 

 

 

Camouflaged Shrimp and Crab

Look closely at this tapestry and you'll find an emperor shrimp and a crab on a sea cucumber. In this symbiotic relationship, seen here on Fiji's Rainbow Reef, the sea cucumber offers camouflaged protection (and possibly a ride) but is not harmed by its neighbors.

 

 

Nudibranch and Tunicate

Komodo National Park in Indonesia showcases a carnival of marine life, including this green-and-black nudibranch, seen here devouring a tunicate. The coloring of these carnivorous mollusks comes from the foods they eat.

Denise's Pygmy Seahorse

A Denise's pygmy seahorse (Hippocampus denise) takes its place among coral polyps in Indonesian waters. At less than an inch (2.5 centimeters) tall, the seahorse's size and coloration help camouflage it within the gorgonian coral.

 

Smooth Trunkfish

A smooth trunkfish (Lactophrys triqueter) swims through its coral habitat off Grand Turk Island in the Caribbean. Solitary in nature, the trunkfish blows water out of its mouth to expose prey such as mollusks, crustaceans, worms, and sponges

 

 

School of Sweetlips

Moving as one, a school of sweetlips explores the waters of Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Sweetlips are often accompanied by the cleaner wrasse, a fish that grooms them and keeps their skin and mouths free of infection-causing parasites.

 

 

 

Yellow Trumpetfish

Holding the line of its near vertical posture, a yellow trumpetfish swims gracefully in the waters of the Tuamotu archipelago in French Polynesia. Trumpetfish tend to align themselves with other vertical objects, often hiding alongside larger upright-oriented fish to get closer to prey.

 

 

 

Sea Squirts and Clingfish

A colony of sea squirts forms a colorful landscape, ample hiding place for an Eastern cleaner-clingfish (Cochleoceps orientalis) in the Tasman Sea off the coast of Australia. The tiny fish, which cleans parasites from the bodies of larger fish, fights strong currents by anchoring itself with a sucker disc on its abdomen.

 

Red Sea Star

Stretched out in brilliant red, a sea star, or starfish, is one of the beauties among marine life in the Galápagos Islands. Sea stars not only have the ability to regenerate a body part that has been lost, but they can also self-amputate an appendage if they are injured or under attack.

 

Great White Shark

A great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias) plies the coastal waters of Gansbaai, South Africa. Great whites are protected in South African waters after being hunted for their jaws as trophies, killed for their fins for trade on the Asian fish market, and asphyxiated in gill nets.
