water, or when there is no sun or when they think it is necessary, one can
only see a tiny dot in the center, and one wonders what that this rubbery
ball could be .

there are plots with small anemones

filaments in the center and points on the purple board. The suction foot is
at the top. It distinguishes it by its enlargement.
This one is somewhat larger than the photo shows, the left patella (Chinese
hat), gives the size. They are small compared to those of warmer seas.

for it practically does not move.
But it is nothing compared to the stone fish, even more
discret.

It is a starfish, the acanthaster,
which devours the corals and cause to them large
damages.
Ray or tortoises, it

The ray of the lagoon is
the stingray wich has a blade on the end of its longf

Fearsome when fighting with
another animal, there is no danger because it flees away

bottom of the water (I noticed that myself).
Spotted cod
(merou and
loche in french) can reach 80 kgs. (178 lb)
The fish see the colors by dichromy (bases of two colors), at the contrary of
humans which see in three-colour process (three types of cones paper the eye, like in the tube TV
); therefore, it should be known that at
10 meters deep, all is already blue (for us).
And for them ?
- The marine animals move while
crawling, walking on their fins, swimming, stuck to others and also by
reaction.
