certainly enjoyed his metaphors.

He compared the endless waters of an ocean

to the endless sands of a desert,

and the coral reef to an oasis.

The reefs are havens where sea life abounds

and all the different species

depend on each other for survival.

Huge schools of yellow snappers

thrive on parts of the reef.

Let me introduce you to this wonderful

ballet my friends have prepared for you.

Well, you wouldn't get a bunch of turtles

to carry on like that,

but it's rather fascinating,

don't you think?

Thank you, my friends. See you later.

Now, no one particularly likes

becoming someone else's lunch,

but down here, we're pretty realistic

about our place in the food chain.

You eat and you are eaten.

That's just the way it goes.

These sandy plains may seem barren to you,

but just below the surface

live countless molluscs and small worms.

And any creature with the right appetite,

and the right technique

knows they are down there.

Stingrays are experts at finding

and excavating their prey from the sand.

Their mouth is under their body,

while their eyes are on top.

To me, this is a little strange.

They have powerful jaws, of course.

Not as strong as mine,

but they are capable of crushing

even the hardest shells.

And as always, nothing goes to waste.

The smaller fish feast on the scraps

the larger ones leave behind.

When I think of life on the reef,

two things come to mind,

abundance and extraordinary diversity.

These are surgeonfish.

They graze on the algae

growing on the rocks.

They find safety in numbers

and confuse their predators

by travelling together.

Traffic can get heavy at times.

It's okay, I can wait.

Bigeye trevallies

are another sociable species,

at least by day.

By night, the dense schools disperse

and each fish must find its own dinner.

Although the barracuda exudes

elegance and danger,

unless provoked,

they are no danger to you humans.

With nightfall, a strange serenity

descends on the reef

and a whole new array of life is revealed.

Many creatures filter the water for food,

like these feather stars.

The corals themselves

extend their tentacles to catch zooplankton.

Sea squirts filter the waters

in search of nutrition.

Small fish retreat into the delicate maze

of coral branches.

At night, these trumpetfish

prefer the man-made shelter

the shipwreck can provide.

This puffer fish doesn't look too happy

about our late-night intrusion,

so let's sneak away. Come on.

Sorry, my friend. Go back to sleep.

Here's a creature that always makes me

duck into my shell,

one of the deadliest on the planet,

the sea snake.

Let's follow it into deeper water,

where the colours begin to fade away.
