Spectacular Marine Scene and Wonders of the Underwater Wonderlands

These are the underwater wonders of the most spectacular scene of the sea that you’ll never want to miss. Coral reefs, beautiful fish and other interesting marine animals have made a wonderful underwater garden, and this fascinating underwater’s paradise is indeed a magical life for these amazingly existed animals.

Hi, I’m Nemo (the orange one), one of the famous stars in a movie called “Finding Nemo”.  I prefer to have myself nestled in an anemone. I’ve symbiotic relationships with certain anemones. I’m happy to live together with Mr. Anemone. We can get along very well here, and always benefit from each other. Our friendship is TRUE as he provides me protection, and to repay his kindness, I feed and clean his body.

These jellyfish are beautiful. They look like a crystallized lantern flashing through the “dark sky” of the sea. They’re invertebrates that range in size from approximately 2 ½ cm to 61m long. My grandpa told me that their species have been here for more than 650 million years. So, they’re our “senior”. Interesting facts I come across these jellyfish are that they’ve no brains, no heads, no eyes, no ears, and no hearts. They use their net of tentacles which contain deadly poisonous and stinging cells to capture prey for food. When their tentacles “rub through” the prey, you’ll see thousands of their tiny stinging cells explode, and later it’s followed by launching barbed stingers and poison against their prey.

They’re known as Nudibranchs which means “naked gill” in Latin as they carry their exposed plume-like external gills on their backs. Unlike the snails, they don’t have shell to cover their soft bodies from injuries and scratches. Despite the absence of the hard shells, they use a defend strategy called cryptic coloration or in a simple word “camouflage” to protect themselves (quoted from my previous article entitled Butterflies of the Sea: Flamboyantly Decorated Marine Animals).
