a tasselled wobbegong shark on a coral reef
Coral reefs in Indonesia have more than 1,500 species of fish. That's more fish species than anywhere else on the planet! These fish range from tiny pygmy seahorses to huge Queensland groupers. Pygmy seahorses live on a type of pink, bumpy coral that looks just like the seahorses' skin. The coral provides the perfect camouflage.
