Goby and Bubble Coral, Indonesia, 2005
Photograph by Tim Laman
A goby fish with brilliant orange streaks stands out on a bit of gray bubble coral in Maumere Bay off Indonesias Flores Island. In most of the ocean, turbid or murky waters force creatures to use nonvisual means of communication—smell, taste, touch, and sound. But in the clear, sunlit waters of coral reefs, light abounds, vision predominates, and animals drape themselves in blazing color.

意译:虾虎鱼和泡沫的珊瑚虫,印度尼西亚,2005。
一条虾虎鱼有灿烂的橙色条纹,停止在一小块灰色泡沫珊瑚虫上,在(Maumere)海湾,远离印度尼西亚的升华岛。许多海洋里,那混浊或者黑暗中水的力量,动物会用各种手段来传达信息――嗅觉、味觉、触觉和声音保护自己。但是在清晰的、阳光照射的水中的珊瑚虫暗礁,阳光充满,视力优良,动物它们自己闪耀强烈的颜色展示自己。
