The background water is a clear blue-green, with sunlight filtering down from the mangrove canopy. Sponges of various colors and shapes are scattered around the coral, contributing to the diversity of the underwater landscape.

Coral reefs are among the most diverse ecosystems on Earth, supporting approximately 25% of all marine species. Gorgonian corals, known for their fan-like structures, play a significant role in these ecosystems by providing habitat and shelter for numerous marine organisms. However, coral reefs are facing significant threats from climate change, ocean acidification, and human activities, with an estimated 50% of the world’s coral reefs already lost or severely damaged.
