Closeup shot of large pinkish sea fan with mangrove forest in the back

Indonesia's Reefs: A Kaleidoscope of Colors.

This video clip shows a close-up of a large, pinkish sea fan swaying gently underwater. The sea fan’s branches are detailed and fill the foreground. Behind it, a mangrove forest extends upwards, with sunlight filtering through the water and creating a soft, diffused light. Small fish can be seen swimming around the sea fan, adding life to the shot. The water is clear, giving a good view of the mangrove trees and their roots. This footage captures the delicate beauty of the sea fan and the calm, serene environment of the mangrove forest.

Sea fans, or gorgonians, are composed of a flexible, skeletal structure made from a protein called gorgonin and calcium carbonate. They grow by extending their branches and forming new polyps, small, individual organisms living within the structure. Each polyp secretes the skeletal material that contributes to the overall growth of the sea fan. Sea fans are often found in nutrient-rich waters with strong currents, which help them filter feed on plankton and other small particles. This process allows them to grow and maintain their delicate, fan-like shapes.
