Description
Black Damselfish, also called Bluefin Damsel (Neoglyphidodon melas). It grows to a size of 7 inches (18 cm). The juvenile coloring is yellow and light blue. The coloration of the adults are blueish black.
You can see different kind of Finger Corals and Raspberry corals in this photo.
Every detail in the cellular and chemical makeup of the corals we know today is designed to keep not just their own species thriving, but their entire habitat in balance. This is because nature is a problem-solver. For the last 3.8 billion years, life has survived through several mass extinctions, leaving us the blueprints for enduring global calamities. And at the heart of all life, from its very origins to today’s biggest challenges, is the ocean. There isn’t a living system on Earth that doesn’t depend on either the ocean’s abundance or its ability to regulate our climate. Yet marine research and its application to our climate crisis is consistently underfunded, undermining even our best efforts to restore our planet.
