EDITORS COMMENTS
Watch out, this toxic firecracker of the sea is not to be messed with! Meet the DDE-90025470, also known as the Toxic Fire Urchin. With its vibrant colors and sharp barbs, it's a creature that demands attention in any underwater ecosystem. Captured off the coast of Puerto Gallera in the Philippines, this close-up shot by photographer Stuart Westmorland showcases the beauty and danger that coexist beneath our oceans. The Asthenosoma varium may look like a work of art with its colorful coral reef habitat, but don't let its mesmerizing appearance fool you - it packs quite a punch! Found in Southeast Asia's waterscape, this poisonous marine animal adds an element of thrill to any diving adventure. Its stingers are not to be taken lightly; they can leave even experienced swimmers feeling wary. Nature never ceases to amaze us with its incredible diversity, and this print from Ardea Picture Library perfectly captures one small piece of that puzzle. So next time you're exploring Mindoro Island or anywhere else in SE Asia's aquatic paradise, keep your eyes peeled for these fascinating yet perilous creatures – just remember to admire them from a safe distance!
