In the coral reef plankton is the tie which bounds open sea and coast, big fishes and micro-organisms living and performing a show that seems created by mere love of beauty. In reality, coral reefs are an immense and unique mouth where everyone’s effort is to eat and not been eaten. Some try to solve this problem making themselves bigger, some others are able to hide or camouflage themselves, changing their colors or trying to appear different from what they are: algae, sponge or madrepore. Our eyes, not trained to the light games of the underwater world, find it difficult to perceive what they are looking at.
