Brain coral refraction and roots..A brain coral growing around red mangrove roots in Belize is seen refracted from above water and seen directly below water in this split level view...Unusually clear water for a mangrove habitat has allowed this coral to grow. Rich invertebrate life including in some places corals, tunicates, and sponges, cover the underwater portions of red mangrove roots on this offshore mangrove island in Belize. ..This habitat is an important nursery area and provides shelter for many fish species.
