  • A swift moving school of Schooling Bannerfish, Heniochus diphreutes.  Their banded pattern may seen to make them conspicuous, but when they move quickly as a group, it may be confusing and make it harder for prey to target an individual.

  • Anthias school and soft corals.

  • Bleached staghorn and other corals on a shallow reef in the Fiji Island.  Note that the white areas are bleached (have lost their algae), but brown areas have retained their algae.  Reefs can recover from this type of partial bleaching and this one did.
