Media added to your Request List
A wide-angle landscape photograph showcases striking yellow-and-black feather stars (Comanthina species) perched alongside large red-orange sea fan gorgonians (Melithaea species) on a thriving coral reef in Bali. Swarms of bright orange sea goldies and anthias (Pseudanthias squamipinnis) flutter around the intricate arms of the crinoids and the fan structures. Sunlit, clear blue tropical ocean water provides a deep contrast to the rich warm tones of the benthic life. Ideal for marine ecology textbooks, coral reef conservation campaigns, travel media, and professional nature stock photography.
