The mesmerizing sea krait, also known as the Yellow-lipped sea snake (Laticauda colubrina), gracefully dives back down to the reef after surfacing. Found in the Pacific Ocean, specifically in Bali, Indonesia, this venomous Banded sea krait showcases its vibrant colors as it swims over a stunning coral reef. Captured in breathtaking underwater images like UW INDO 1992 118 and UW INDO 1990 15, these snapshots allow us to witness the beauty of this creature up close. With its distinctive yellow lips and sleek body, the Yellow-lipped a sight to behold. Its venomous nature adds an element of danger to its graceful movements.

Not only does this fascinating species thrive in coral reefs but it also hunts amidst seagrass beds.
