(Toxotes jaculatrix) patrol under the mirror-smooth surface near Misool Island, deep in the blue-water mangroves. Their intended prey: insects that perch on overhanging mangrove branches. An archerfish purses its lips to become a living squirt gun, shooting a stream of water that knocks insects into the water. About the size of an adult human hand, the fish has a flattened dorsal fin that lets it cruise at the surface undetected.]]>

Hippocampus denise. Not yet scientifically described, the species is commonly called Pontoh’s pygmy seahorse. Shooting it with a macro telephoto lens as it darted about in algae that fringed a coral head, says David Doubilet, “was like trying to follow a butterfly with a tank.”]]>
