Now You See Them . . .
Photograph by Tim Laman
Small orange basslets feed in clouds above a healthy Fijian reef, eating plankton borne by the currents. But when danger threatens (see next photograph), the waters clear instantly as basslets and other small prey dart into the protective shelter of the reef's corals. Alternating interludes of placid feeding and frantic flight make each reef pulse like a beating heart.
