Bounty on Sodwana reefs May 13 2008
There’s always a lot to see at Bikini and Ribbon reefs in Sodwana Bay, which is part of the Isimangaliso Wetland Park on South Africa’s Indian Ocean coast.
The colours, shapes, patterns and textures of corals, sponges and the reef fish themselves are a constant source of wonder. It’s also fascinating to watch the creatures interacting: anemones and clownfish in symbiosis, cleaner shrimps attending to morays, fish defending their territory, or a turtle feeding.
Portly puffer fish, thin ribbon eels and ghost pipefish, flat rays, geometrically patterned morays and raggedy paperfish are among the amazing creatures to be seen in these Earth-Touch clips:
