$Indian Feather Duster Worm Sabellastarte spectabilis occurs in the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean from the Arabian Sea to Hawaii in intertidal and subtidal reefs in a depth range from 3-30m. It is quite a large species, with a tube up to 30cm and a single crown of about 10cm in diameter, feeding by filtering plankton and organic particles from the water column. \nAs a defence mechanism, these creatures are able to quickly retreat into their tubes, when disturbed by potential predators. It may come as a surprise, but Sabellastarte has eyes! \nCrowns of this species often have a banded pattern in a variety of colors including browns, red, white and yellow. Yellow like this specimen is the rarest color for this species. \nTengah Island, Indonesia, 5°8'44.496 S 132°0'46.254 E at 8m depth by night$

$In winter, I continue diving despite the cold water. Although I'm freezing underwater, some animals warm me up, how these spirographs. \nWhen some spirograph opens its mouth, as feathers, you can stay hypnotized by its colors and movements. And that is like a fire on a cold night, so my freezy ends.$

Ideal for saltwater aquariums, nooks of marine habitants, The giant tube worms live in large groups in the bottom of the Pacific Ocean at depths of 2000-4000 m, near black smokers. Tolerate extreme conditions of high temperatures and high concentrations of sulfur. Like other forms of life that thrive around the vents, giant tube worms have developed biochemical adaptations through which they can live without sunlight.advertising

$Sun Coral Tubastraea faulkneri is a large polyp stony coral from the family Dendrophyliidae. The species occurs all over the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean in a wide depth range of 3-225 meters, often in greater densities on vertical walls and caves. \nThese corals are slow growers and they do not contribute to coral reef development. Unlike many tropical corals, they are azooxanthellate or non-photosynthetic, meaning that they do not live in symbiosis with zooxanthellae in their tissues, allowing them to grow in complete darkness as long as they can capture enough food, usually plankton. \nThey extend their translucent tentacles like these specimen during the late evening and the night, while during the day the tentacles are completely withdrawn. \nTriton Bay, West Papua Province, Indonesia, 3°54'2.454 S 134°6'23.7 E at 14m depth$

$Gorgonian Wrapper Nemanthus annamensis, a species of Sea Anemones, is a common commensal on gorgonian sea fans and sea whips in Central Indo-Pacific water deeper than 10m. Sea anemones can contract and bend the column in various directions. The Gorgonian Wrapper's muscles can also be used to expand the column and tentacles by using hydrostatic pressure. This is called a hydrostatic skeleton. Gorgonian Wrappers can detach themselves from the bottom and relocate. Pantar Island, Indonesia, 8°12'51\$
