Meet the world's most fascinating sea creatures-see the lives and
curiosities of colorful fish and coral reefs-this spectacular
volume has more than 300 color photos and extraordinary text from a
leading marine biologist and underwater photographer, and the
international expert on seahorses. In this richly informative
volume, brimming with new discoveries and more than three hundred
colorful images of jaw-dropping fish and coral reefs, you'll swim
in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans; you'll be dazzled in
the Coral Triangle and amazed in Triton Bay. Up close you'll meet
the Cenderawasih fairy wrasse, with its florescent yellow streak;
the polka-dot longnose filefish; and the multicolored seadragon.
There are scarlet-colored corals, baby-blue sponges, daffodil
crinoids, and all sorts of mystifying creatures that change color
at the drop of a hat. The whale shark is almost larger than life
and the author's beloved pygmy seahorse, unless photographed, is
almost too tiny to see. The wondrous creatures inside are charmers
and tricksters and excel in the arts of seduction and deception,
and you'll have the rare chance to see and delight in their antics.
You'll also learn what they eat, how they play, and how they care
for one another, live on one another, and mimic others when they're
afraid. There is also compelling insight into the naming process,
which sea creatures are facing extinction, and how we can help them
before it's too late.
