During the daytime, the reef sharks
sleep on sandy ground and in caves.
They sleep off the nocturnal hunt.
Unlike many other sharks,
the different reef sharks
do not necessarily have
to be in motion to breathe.
By opening and closing their mouths,
passing through the gills
to extract oxygen out of the water.
In our ranking,
all the different reef shark species
but they are still
dangerous predators ranked
high on the food chain
of their reefs.
On the other hand,
they are completely harmless for divers,
so it is possible to observe everything
about them that fascinates us.
If you are underwater,
it is very likely that you will
come across a reef shark sooner or later,
because this species is so
geographically widespread
in warm temperate seas.
These two clown fish
always rest in their favourite place,
near a protective sea anemone.
With it, they live in a symbiosis.
The anemone is toxic to most fish.
However, the skin of the clown fish

Within this colourful coral world,
there is yet another highly specialized
hunter at home, the nurse shark.
The family of nurse sharks can grow from
1 .5 feet to 14 feet in length,
making them double the length
of the whitetip reef shark.
The most unusual thing
about the shark is its liver.
It can weigh up to 88 pounds,
20 times heavier than a human liver.
The liver is so large
because, unlike bony fish,
sharks don't have swim bladders.
They instead rely on their livers
to produce an oil
which gives them buoyancy.
These hunters can be found,
not only in the East Pacific,
but also at the coast
regions of the Atlantic.
If the nurse shark decided to attack,
he would only need one bite.
The reason for that is the mouth
construction of the nurse shark.
It works like a vacuum cleaner,
and sucks the prey in.
Hunting, he shows the typical
behaviour of the nurse sharks,
searching in columns
or under rubble for hidden prey,
which he will simply suck into his mouth
and do his best to filter the water.
Although remnants of coral and algae
have been found
in the stomachs of nurse sharks.
makes hunting easier for the nurse shark,
it also allows him to breathe
while he's not moving.

This gentle shark
can be quite lazy during the day.
This is when he
likes to be around his own kind
