EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Terry Moore showcases a detailed view of yellow tube coral (Tubastrea) polyps with parasites, taken in the stunning waters of Bonaire, Caribbean Netherlands. The image captures the intricate beauty and complexity of these marine organisms in their natural habitat. The vibrant yellow tube coral stands out against the backdrop of the Caribbean Sea, its delicate polyps extending outward like tendrils. However, upon closer inspection, one can observe tiny parasites clinging to the surface of these polyps, forming a symbiotic relationship that both fascinates and intrigues. The photograph provides an extreme close-up perspective that reveals every minute detail - from the orange hue of the coral to the fine structure of each individual tentacle. This magnification allows us to appreciate not only their striking appearance but also gain insight into their anatomy and biology. In this underwater scene devoid of human presence, we are reminded of nature's wonders and diversity. The image serves as a reminder that even within such small ecosystems like this single animal specimen captured here, there is an entire world teeming with life and interconnected relationships waiting to be explored. Overall, Terry Moore's skillful photography transports us into a mesmerizing realm where wildlife thrives beneath tranquil waves – inviting us to marvel at its splendor while fostering curiosity about our planet's rich biodiversity.
