Wonders of the underworld

LARGE

I've always shown the beauty of Terengganu in my stream but this time courtesy from a dear friend, Patrick, who is a professional diver from one of the islands, who took this photo using the Canon PowerShot A620. Just a 7 Megapixel Digital P&S Camera with underwater housing.

 

Night dives are popular and divers are often astounded by the amount of species found. As with land animals, many marine creatures are nocturnal, and different underwater species will be on display as darkness falls. Darkness also brings change to the corals: during the day, their polyps are at danger from predators.

 

P/S: As of yet, I'm sorry I haven't a slightest clue to the name of this species of coral.
