Beneath the Waves - Marine Life (14 images)

View: 250 | All

Around two thirds of our planet is made up of the ocean and most remains unexplored. The vast blue is made up of some of the most incredible variety of species. There is something compelling about a place where man is alien. Where a whole new world survives in unison alongside our own.

The depths of the ocean are filled with creatures that challenge our realities. They bring it home to humanity that we share our planet with life beyond land.

There's much to learn...

Cardinal Fish
$A common clown fish stays in the natural safety of a sea anenome. The light cascades over tendrils of underwater colour.<br /> <br /> The most common home for the Clown Fish is among the tentacles of the Sea Anemone. It's a curious quirk of nature that the tiny Clown fish is able to live without getting stung by the tentacles of the Anemone. The fish actually uses the Anemone to save it from predators. The fish continuously loops through the waving tentacles of the Anemone and is moving around all the time. It is believed that the Clown Fish develops a kind of slimy covering around its body that helps it to withstand the Anemone\'s stings. The Clown Fish is dependent on the Sea Anemone for its daily bread. After the Anemone paralyzes and eats a fish, the Clown fish will polish off the remaining uneaten bits and pieces. In return, the Clown Fish helps to keep the Anemone free of dead tentacles by eating these. The Clown Fish also helps the Anemone get food by using its bright coloration to lure unsuspecting fish into the vicinity of the Anemone. This symbiotic relationship with the Anemone makes the Clown Fish one of the most curious creatures living in water.$
