Polynesian Reef Panorama
The colors and multitude of life on a living coral reef can be surreal. On a calm day in Polynesia, I drift across a shallow reef with tropical fish seemingly oblivious to my presence. It is like living in a dream.

Trunkfish Lips
The kissable lips of a trunkfish may look like they've had too much Botox. However, trying to kiss their pouty lips would be a bad idea anyway. They exude ostracitoxin, a poisonous substance known to be potent enough to kill sharks.
