A mantis shrimp looks out from a rocky burrow surrounded by broken bits of coral, while a small crab hurries by nearby. Bubbles trail upward through the water around them.
This wide reef scene has it all: branching staghorn coral, bumpy brain coral, and a school of clownfish and angelfish weaving around swaying sea fans. Sunbeams stream down through the water, lighting up bubbles and a few crabs scuttling over the sand.
