Limestone and Tree, Railay - Thailand Stalactites drip with moisture from an overhanging limestone cave on the beaches of Thailand's Railay peninsula. The rock climbing here can be fantastic, or downright miserable...its all up to the stone.

Bubble Anemone - Indonesia The bright orange globes of this anemone are quite large, and are believed to grow this way with increased exposure to sunlight - such as in shallower waters. These fragile polyp structures have the potential to envenomate small pray with neurotoxins, as they are not plants and derive most of their energy from sunlight, the addition of even tiny shrimp meals means survival.

Mandarin Fish, Komodo Island - Indonesia For about a half hour each day, just as the sun is setting, these tiny (6cm) picturesque fish emerge from the broken shells and staghorn corals to dance with their mates. Male mandarin fish will patrol the broken floor for a suitable female. Once they have found each other they align themselves belly-to-belly and together, slowly rise about one meter above the reef. Once they are at the peak of their ascent, they will release sperm and a cloud of eggs, and then disappear in a flash.
