Coral reefs are the one of earths most complex ecosystems, containing over 800 species of corals and one million animal and plant species. Here we see a Giant Clam (Tridacna gigas). These clams are a rare site due to overfishing for their meat and pearls they are a ‘Vulnerable species’. Their shells are open by day to allow sunlight to feed the algae within via photosynthesis.

$Papuan Scorpionfish Scorpaenopsis papuensis occurs in the tropical Pacific Ocean from Indonesia and the Philippines to the Society Islands, north to the Ryukyu Islands, south to the Great Barrier Reef and Fiji in a depth range from 1-40m, max. length 25cm, common 20cm. Scorpion fishes rarely swim, but rather move along the bottom propelling themselves with their fins. As ambush hunters, they use the camouflage as a hunting skill to prey on unsuspecting fish and invertebrates. The outline of this specimen disappears almost completey. \nThis specimen is located slightly left of center in the photo. \nBatu Kapal is a rock shaped like a boat.

A barrel sponge (Xestospongia muta) in coral reef in the Caribbean Sea (Yucatan, Mexico).

The largest known specimen measured 137 centimetres (4 ft 6 in). It was discovered around 1817 on the north western coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, and its shells are now on display in a museum in Northern Ireland. The joint weight of the two shells is 230 kilograms (510 lb), which suggests that the live weight of the animal would have been roughly 250 kilograms (550 lb). As is often the case with uncharacteristically large species, the giant clam has been historically misunderstood. It was known in times past as the killer clam and man-eating clam, and reputable scientific and technical manuals once claimed that the great mollusc had caused deaths; versions of the U.S. Navy Diving Manual even gave detailed instructions for releasing oneself from its grasp by severing the adductor muscles used to close its shell
