  • Sarcophyton soft corals festoon the shallow part of the reef. As most corals can produce the bulk of their own food by photosynthesis, they can survive in areas that have little or no nutrients in the water. It also means that they need sunlight and hence clear water. Ths makes them an ideal underwater photography subject!

  • A profusion of life surrounds this coral pinnacle. Corals provide shelter and protection for many animals, which in turn makes for rich hunting grounds for predators. Unfortunately, the outlook for magnificent corals like this is poor. The combination of rising sea temperatures and the acidification of the oceans meand that despite the COP21 treaty, it seems unlikely that they will survive.

  • A Goniobranchus aureopurpurea nudibranch lifts its "skirts" or mantle as it moves across the bottom. The animal's rhinophores are able to sense chemicals and currents within the water around it.

  • Super macro study of the head of a crested nembrotha (Nembrotha cristata) nudibranch. These sea slugs come in an amazing variety of shapes, sizes and colors.

  • Two crested nembrotha (Nembrotha cristata) nudibranchs doing their bit for survival of the species. Nudibranchs are typically both male and female, and meet up to breed with each other simultaneously.

  • This nudibranch has evolved to be able to generate its own food by having photosynthetic zooxanthellae algae within it. The solar-powered phyllodesmium (Phyllodesmium longicirrum) ingest green algae without completely digesting it and stores the algae's chloroplasts in the obvious spots on its body.

  • Nudibranchs lay chacteristic patterns of eggs on rocks or the sea bed. This many lobed ceratosoma (Ceratosoma tenue) is layinga spiral of red eggs on a small rock

  • Geometric Chromodoris (Chromodoris geometries) moving across its substrate of a piece of fallen timber. In common with many nudibranchs, this Chromodoris feeds on hydroids, coral, sponges and anemones. As it moves, its mantle "waves" up and down.

  • A lionfish (Pterois volitans) shows of its impressive mouthparts to warn off the photographer. These fish are voracious predators and are equipped with poisonous spines to deter the unwary. This image was taken in the Red Sea, where they are endemic. Relatively recently however, they have found their way to the Caribbean where they are decimating local fish species that are unprepared to deal with such an efficient predator.

  • Emperor shrimp (Periclimenes imperator) catching a ride on a many lobed ceratasoma nudibranch (Ceratosoma tenue). These shrimps seem to live in a commensal relationship with larger nudibranchs or sea slugs, picking up detritus from the sea floor as their hosts move along it.

  • A rusty parrotfish (Scarus ferrugineus) displays its amazing mouth parts. These form the major component that parrotfishes use for their duties as the constant gardeners of the reef. They play a crucial role in keeping it healthy, suppressing weed, removing sediment and helping the corals to regrow after a setback.

  • A super macro image of the mouth parts of a coleman shrimp ( Periclimenes colemani) in its fire urchin (Asthenosoma varium) home.<br />
Coleman shrimps are only found on fire urchins and live in an obligate symbiosis with their host. They feed on the soft tube feet and tentacles of the sea urchin, which does not seem to be severely harmed. The venomous spines of the urchin provide an excellent defense from any would be predators too.
