FLASHER WRASSE (Paracheilinus nursalim) © Gerald Allen/Conservation International Paracheilinus nursalim, was discovered on a Conservation International Rapid Assessment Program (RAP) expedition in west Papua Indonesia in 2006. The males go through an amazing courtship ritual in which “electric” colours are flashed periodically to attract nearby females. The courtship dance takes place every afternoon, beginning about one hour before sundown and continuing until dusk.

Some of the most beautiful sea creatures can’t be photographed underwater, so this photographer found a different way to take their portraits. Here’s an up close and personal look at the delicate and colorful inhabitants of the White Sea.

Starfish (Sea Stars)- have an amazing ability to regenerate limbs, and sometimes entire bodies. A few species can grow an entirely new sea star just from a portion of a severed limb! Sea stars also have the remarkable ability to consume prey outside their own body. Using tiny, suction-cupped tube feet, they pry open clams or oysters, and their sack-like stomach emerges from their mouth and oozes inside the shell. The stomach then envelops the prey and withdraws back into the body!

Fetching pins…
Judy Grebeldinger I would agree with that. Not much in the way of large sea life but tons of macro.
