Coral reefs are the one of earths most complex ecosystems, containing over 800 species of corals and one million animal and plant species. Here we see a shallow coral reef consisting of hard Staghorn Coral (Acropora)  supporting shoals of Indian Damselfish (Dascyllus cameus).  They are using the reef as a natural protection from predators.  This coral, although on the whole healthy, is showing signs of distress.  75% of the worlds coral reefs are now classed as 'Threatened,' with 60% of most reefs having local damage from anchors, overfishing, coral bleaching, disease and pollution.  Here the tips of the coral are beginning to bleach.
