EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of a saltwater shrimp delicately perched on bubble coral in Komodo National Park, Indonesia. The vibrant colors and intricate details showcased in this image truly bring the underwater world to life. The saltwater shrimp, scientifically known as Vir philippinensis, forms a fascinating symbiotic relationship with the bubble coral species Plerogyra sinuosa. This commensal shrimp finds shelter and protection amidst the delicate branches of the mushroom-like coral while also benefiting from its food sources. Located within the Coral Triangle, an area renowned for its incredible marine biodiversity, this photograph showcases just a glimpse of the vast array of sea life found in this region. The transparent and translucent nature of both the shrimp and coral adds an ethereal quality to this close-up shot. Photographer Steve Jones skillfully captures not only the beauty but also highlights important scientific aspects such as magnification and extreme close-ups. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate these tiny creatures that play significant roles in maintaining our fragile marine ecosystems. Immerse yourself in nature's wonders with this stunning print that serves as a reminder of our planet's extraordinary diversity and encourages us to protect these precious habitats for future generations.
