Description: These vibrant animals – yes, sea fans are animals, just like corals and jellies – use their feathery tentacles to catch plankton. They’re colonial, which means many tiny animals actually form this structure.

Description: These bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops) were photographed swimming in the deep blue waters 15 kilometres off Lord Howe Island. They’re social animals that travel in pods, and the shape of their short, thick mouths makes it look like they’re always smiling.

The Ocean’s Night Light
Location: Azores, Portugal

Description: In German, the scientific name of the mauve stinger jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca means “night light.” It grows up to 10 centimetres in diameter, and when a dolphin or other marine life disturbs the calm ocean, the jelly produces light flashes as a defence mechanism.
